Your experience with bureaucracy gives you an advantage when dealing with various sorts of officials. You can tell when they're being evasive or hiding something, or figure out how to convince them to co-operate with you. (You can use this feature to give yourself advantage on Insight, Persuasion, and Deception checks against other bureaucrats.)
Suggested Characteristics
Bureaucrats can be many things: argumentative, persuasive, evasive, and many who have to deal with them would say difficult. As a bureaucrat, you are likely devoted to a code of conduct that is your first priority, even when that code may not make logical sense.
