You're family used to be in the upper echelon of our class based society. Now their nothing, you're nothing. Nobles scoff at your family. Peasants hate you, and the middle class laughs at your down fall. You used to be untouchable, now you're less than nothing.
Work with your DM to figure out how to best work with the inner workings of the people despising your name along with how and when this fall happened.
Are you seeking to climb the ranks? Are you seeking revenge? Have you gone mad? These are all questions that can help build your fallen noble.
- Skill Proficiencies: History, Insight
- Languages: Two of your choice
- Equipment: A set of Traveler's clothes, a signet ring, and a purse containing 2 gp
Thanks to your noble birth, you weren't made for hard labor and hardship. Though you could sit around and pity yourself, you instead decide to put your nose to the grind stone and work however you can, using the Last Power you have left, the one power no one can take from you no matter what, your determination.
When you use Last power peasants, though may despise you for your name, recognize your determination to work and will often give you aid in finding where you can get more dangerous jobs that most people avoid, as well as they are more likely to give you a job with payment of a place to sleep and a meal.
Suggested Characteristics
Nobles are born and raised to a very different lifestyle than most people ever experience, and their personalities reflect that upbringing.
A fallen noble is known largely for their fall from grace. They are more likely to hold the more softer sides of Nobles, going back to the grindstone to rebuild and make a living.
A maddened noble is known largely for their corruption. They are more likely to hold the more aggressive and extreme sides of Nobles, using who ever they can for their own selfish gains.
