Ex-Follower of Zoltan

You have spent most of your life following a supposed visionary named Zoltan. You spent your days wearing bubble wrap to prepare for your interstellar journey, having cult meetings in his mom's barn, and listening to him drone on about his visions and knowledge of the space. It wasn't until you met the two Norwegian aliens in disguise and their Continium Transfunctioner that you realized Zoltan really had no idea what he was doing or talking about.  Thankfully your studiousness paid off and you learned your own information of space and also have gained a valuable life lesson in trust, or distrust anyways.

Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Investigation

Languages: Two of your choice

Equipment: A [Tooltip Not Found] (the only remnant of your ex-Zolton-following lifestyle), your favorite book from your days on Earth, a Rubik's cube, a [Tooltip Not Found] and a pouch containing 15 gp.

Suggested Characteristics

Ex Zoltan followers tend to be distrustful of religion and groups or cults with one sole leader. Their study of space generally leads to them playing more by the book and creatures of habit and fact rather than instinct. Their flaws might be rigidity in thinking factually or their inability to trust others well, especially those with close bonds.
