Revolutionary

You have a way with people. You know what makes them tick, you can tease out their hearts’ desires after a few minutes of conversation, and with a few leading questions you can read them like they were children’s books. It’s a useful talent, and one that you’re perfectly willing to use to the advantage of what you perceive as a just cause.

You know what people want and you deliver, or rather, you promise to deliver. Fair wages, basic needs met, the end of corruption. These marvels sound unlikely to be achieved, but you manage to plant those hopes and let the people fight your battle for power.

Suggested Characteristics

Revolutionaries are colorful characters who conceal their true selves behind the person they construct for the masses. They reflect what people want to see, what they want to believe, and how they see the world. But their true selves are sometimes plagued by an uneasy conscience or deep-seated trust issues.
