Scrivener

The office worker of the fantasy realm, you learned how to read and write, and you decided you might as well get paid to do it. Perhaps you worked as a scribe for a noble, or just as a simple copier for the local paper - maybe you even had a hand in your own shop, where you would write letters for your customers in your beautiful calligraphy.

Let's be honest - you write nicely, but that isn't going to do a whole lot in combat (most of the time), but hey, if you live, you can tell your tale in a cool book. Despite that, you still find yourself setting off on an adventure, maybe for a mythical manuscript, or by simply travelling to the next city to attend the third annual Papyrus and Pens convention.

Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from the following - History, Arcana, and Investigation

Tool Proficiencies: Calligrapher's Supplies

Languages: One language of your choice

Equipment: A scroll case, a bottle of ink, an ink pen, 5 sheets of parchment, a set of smart-yet-casual work clothing, and a pouch containing your last paycheck (10 gp).

Suggested Characteristics

The only real defining trait of a scrivener is that all of them know how to read and write, or, rather, they should be able to do so. Other than that, you could be a real "regular joe", a famous author who makes sure you know it, or a tortured soul that was forced into doing taxes for a demon.
