Slave Trade Saboteur

You were at some point in your past an efficient and productive team member of the specific slave trade (roll on the table below) that you were, brought up into your chosen or possibly forced into career path. Your past complacency within the slave trade is well known to those close to you, which at times can put you at odds with them. However, the bridges you've burned within the slave trade have long lasting repercussions and is often the cause for trouble finding you wherever you happen to be. You have either committed or witnessed the murder of as many as one hundred people while you were a part of the slave trade which has left you numb to the gore and feelings of guilt associated with the death of others. This doesn't mean that you don't feel, because you still care very deeply for others and also value others lives, you just don't have a problem ending them if required. Many circumstances were at play in the lead up to your assault on your slave trading fellows, however one thing is clear in your disruption of this abominable practice, which through your efforts has at least temporarily fallen silent. You will not stand for it, and those that do so will not be able to stand for much longer.

Suggested Characteristics

Criminals might seem like villains on the surface, and many of them are villainous to the core. But some have an abundance of endearing, if not redeeming, characteristics. There might be honor among thieves, but criminals rarely show any respect for law or authority. 

d8	Personality Trait
1	I always have a plan for what to do when things go wrong.
2	I am always calm, no matter what the situation. I never raise my voice or let my emotions control me.
3	The first thing I do in a new place is note the locations of everything valuable—or where such things could be hidden.
4	I would rather make for an exit than find myself somewhere I could be trapped.
5	I am incredibly slow to trust. Those who seem the fairest often have the most to hide.
6	I pay attention to the risks of the situations I put myself in, so I don't need someone to tell me the odds.
7	The best way to get me to do something is to show me why I should care.
8	I'm more likely to stab you in your sleep than to show a physical reaction of anger when insulted.
