Lawyer

You are an attorney, an intellectual with specific knowledge of the inner workings of one of the world's most complex and baffling subjects: law. For years, you received some manner of education in the ways of legislation, likely from a university. You may have used this knowledge to settle disputes and promote compromise, or perhaps you applied your skills in court, putting criminals behind bars or protecting the innocent from an unjust fate. No matter your origins, your knowledge of the law and your skills at oration make you an invaluable individual when it comes to diplomacy and intrigue.

Where did you study and ply your trade? Did you use your oratory skills to enact justice or to help the guilty evade punishment? How did your mundane craft lead to a life of adventure? Perhaps you were fed up with the restrictions placed on you by your vocation and struck out against villains as a vigilante. Or maybe you were recruited by an organization, such as the Church of the Divine Order, which highly values individuals with extensive knowledge of law.
