Suggested Characteristics

Assassin's might seem like villains on the surface, but it's really just a way of life. Some may be cold to the bone, seeing each hit as just another gig, but some believe that what they are doing is for the good of the majority. Murder may seem like a lawless gig, but many in the guild abide by a strict code, whether of their own ideals or that of the guild.

d8	Personality Trait
1	Whenever I meet someone new, I determine at least three different ways I could kill them-- just in case.
2	I always maintain my composure, no matter the situation. Losing control is handing someone else a way to control you.
3	The first thing I do when I walk in a room is note the locations of the exits; you'll be hard pressed to trap me somewhere I don't want to be.
4	Flirting with strangers in a bar is the best way to sharpen your charm and wit.
5	I am suspicious of everyone and slow to trust. Spend enough time around professional infiltration experts and you'd be the same way.
6	I only do what I believe in. That way if I die doing it, I'll die proudly.
7	The best way to get me to do something is to tell me I can’t do it.
8	I don't take kindly to someone questioning my ability, and I'll blow up at the slightest insult

d6	Ideal
1	Tradition. The hierarchy and traditions of the guild have always been this way-- and for good reason. Why fix something that's not broken? (Lawful)
2	Change. If things remain stagnant for too long, perhaps the decision makers at the top Need to be taken out. (Chaotic)
3	Integrity. I have one rule: I'm not killing a kid. They've done nothing to deserve this. (Good)
4	No Mercy. Those who make mistakes should be prepared to pay for them with their lives, regardless of status or age. (Evil)
5	Objectivity. All orders and information should be considered before action. Nothing can be blindly trusted. (Neutral)
6	Aspiration. I have dreams outside of the guild, and I will do whatever it takes to achieve them. (Any)

2	My family are the most important thing, over myself and the guild.
3	The guild took everything from me, and I won't stop until I tear it to the ground.
4	I aim to become the head of the guild some day.
5	There is an orphaned child on the street because of me. I don't know if I'll ever be able to face them.
6	I chose the guild over the love of my life. I'm not sure it was the right decision.

d6	Flaw
1	I hate telling personal information about myself, but I often want to know the personal info of others.
2	I blindly believe in the guild and will, without thought, follow any orders that come my way.
3	Get in. Do the job. Get out. Easy Peasy. Any plan beyond that is a waste of my time.
