Code-Breaker

Code-breakers are the sort of people who look at a language and say, "I want to know what this says," or at a puzzle and immediately begin to try and solve it. They rely on logic and lucky guesses to uncover clues in a code or cipher that will allow them to figure out its meaning. These skills allow them to learn the written secrets of their enemies (or allies!).

Suggested Characteristics

Code-breakers are an incredibly varied bunch- some are amateurs who do it as a hobby, but others are professionals using their skills for more advanced espionage. 

d4	Personality Trait
1	You can put an incredibly hard cipher in front of me, and I'll work on it until I solve it. I won't give up just because it's hard.
2	I've solved every code I've been given- what else do you have for me?
3	I would much prefer to stay inside and work on my codes than do anything else.
4	I see puzzles everywhere, and I must solve every one.

d4	Ideal
1	Truth: It's my duty to uncover the secrets of the world.
2	Duty: I must do my part to make sure that enemy plans are revealed.
3	Fun: I solve puzzles because I enjoy it- why would I do anything else?
4	Chaos: Nothing is secure, everything can and will be broken.

d2	Bond
1	No matter how many puzzles I solve, there's always my rival, who solves even more. I must prove that I am better!
2	My town was attacked because of faulty intelligence- I work to make sure that that happens to no one else.

d2	Flaw
1	I obsess over everything until I understand it completely.
2	Just because I learn a secret doesn't mean I'll do anything with it. After all, what's the point in letting your enemies know you know?
