You spent your childhood in an environment where law was more of an illusion, and justice was out of reach for ordinary people. You've seen criminals, nobles and the powerful escape consequences more often than not. So you learned to act on your own. You are either a former soldier who turned against his orders, or a civilian who gained the necessary skills during training to become a vigilante. Regardless of your background.

A Vigilant Protector is an individual who has chosen to protect the world from hidden or overt evil that eludes the law. The law is not absolute for you - your moral compass is what you believe to be right, and you are willing to sacrifice everything to bring justice. You are a mysterious figure who often comes across as a madman, but behind this mask is a deep belief in your mission.
