Libran

You are a Libran, born under the Libra sign.  A Libran's desire for moral and aesthetic balance, as well as their capacity for argumentative reasoning, making them excellent judges, advisors, clergymen, and architects.  Many Librans choose to exist among opposing ideas and forces, trying to synthesize them in order to reach a fuller understanding of their driving purposes.  Consider your Libran character's personal project.  What conflicts are they trying to mediate, and what forces are they trying to bring balance to?

Despite a Libran's inclination towards stability, they could take to adventuring if the prospect allows them to enact their view of equity.  Such a Libran will have likely deliberated this decision intensively, and will serve as a peaceful and intelligent presence in their party; one that may, however need an occasional kick in the pants to get to action.  Work with your DM to determine how your Libran joined up with their current adventure.  What opposing voices are at play, and how does your character feel about them?  How does the adventure allow your character to interact with the world in a way that produces justice, fairness, or equality?

Balance In All Things

Represented by weight scales, Librans are highly concerned with equity.  They fight for this with unrivaled diplomatic skills and the analytical capacity to look past cultural biases.  A Libran will come around with nuance to any dispute, and will always be willing to look into an opposing viewpoint-- provided it's one that doesn't upset their carefully constructed sense of balance.  As such, they are easily frustrated by those that live in clear excess, have little concern for order, or fail to approach conflict with an open mind.

Suggested Characteristics

With a natural desire to understand opposing arguments, a Libran has the insight to come to informed decisions capable of bridging social gaps.  They also possess an affinity for arts and aesthetics, particularly ones that they find beautiful.  While this lends Librans a creative side, it can lead to superficiality.  Overconcern with appearances will result in the adoption of mild. pointless, and distracting positions.  Moreover, upon examining multiple options, a Libran could simply be left indecisive and confused, becoming disengaged from those that need them.
