War has been your life since you were crafted. The Creators needed the Warforged people to keep them safe, and you dedicated your existence to that cause. You were a part of a great war and near the climax, you unfortunately were damaged and left behind in the chaos. After you fell in battle, an unknown amount of time passed before you were reactivated by a curious traveler. While they slowly reconstructed you, they told you that the war has been long over and you are now free to explore yourself as more than just a war machine. Unsure of what to do with this knowledge, and newly repaired by your newfound ally, you set off to discover what it is that you truly want out of life.

Feature: Ex-Military Rank
You have a military rank from your career as a soldier, even if you have misgivings about your time spent in the military. As long as you have taken no overt action against your former faction, you will be recognized for your prior service by members of the military. Soldiers of lesser rank will be easier to persuade to follow your lead.
