Suggested Characteristics

Being raised in an almost constant sense of danger you can be prone to be both very jumpy or very cold, maybe. One thing most War Children have in common is that they value life over all, and will not take others lightly. You've spent your days caring for others, protecting them and yourself and have come to understand that many might have their lives because of you and your others, but so many were lost because of it as well.
