Demagogue

You may not be the strongest, bravest, or smartest of the party, but you can make the people think you are, and isn't that what really maters? You come from a town where you were not content with the powers in place. You took it upon yourself to create change, and honed your silver tongue in politics. You earned the people's love, and now go out to find... something else.

Skill Proficiencies: Choose one, Persuasion or Deception

Languages: Choose one language feasibly spoken in your hometown (Dwarvish, Elvish, Gnomish, Halfling, or Orc)

Equipment: an inkwell, 5 pieces of parchment, 2 quills, a money pouch, and a backpack

Suggested Characteristics

 Your life's work has been speaking. However, your life's goal has been leadership. You have the mentality of a leader, or at least what you think such a mentality ought to be. This has its ups and downs, and can make you quite the irritating companion at times. But you try, and you often do work magic with your silver tongue, as much as many around you hate to admit it.
