Servant

You have lived much of your life in the service of a Lord, noble, merchant, or someone else with much wealth or power. You fetched their coats, drove their chariots, pressed their clothes; and generally did what they asked you to do.

Were you a highly respected butler? A simple scullery maid? Were you born into service, or did you join later? Were you close to your master or masters, or were they distant and cold? Did they treat you well, or beat you at the drop of a hat?

Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Persuasion

Tool Proficiencies:  Calligrapher's Supplies, Cobbler's Tools, Cook's Utensils, or Weaver's Tools.

Languages: One language of your choice.

Equipment: A noble symbol (something that represents the ones you worked for), a tool or implement you used to serve your master, nice clothes, a set of common clothes, and a belt pouch containing 10 gp.
