Failed Revolutionary

You fought for change in an oppressive region for an extended period of time.  Whether you fought alone or with many others, the outcome remained the same; despite fighting as hard as you were capable, you failed, and the revolution was crushed.  If you fought with others by your side, you personally know that at least some of them were captured.  Furthermore, you barely escaped capture yourself.  Rebellion is in your blood.  While not everyone sympathized with your cause, you know that there were at least a few that identified with the revolution.
