Your life is not your own. Whether you were born into slavery, captured and sold, or indentured as punishment for a crime, you are forced to perform the bidding of another. Existence may be hard or almost pleasant, depending on the temperament of your master (or masters). Either way, you dream of being freed from a life of toil someday.

Suggested Characteristics

All slaves, even those that aren't horribly mistreated, long for freedom. They dream of a day when they take back their life, earning a wage, starting a family (or knowing their family won't be torn apart at a whim), and owning property. Some take matters into their own hands; others are simply too broken to do more than dream.
