The Veteran { Champion revised/Improved}

From a young age you chose to serve your nation, become a hired blade, or fight for what you believed in. Now, after years of battles and twice as many scars, your life has not changed. You seek the next battle, sharpening your blade, keeping your eyes out for the next challenge.

Being a Veteran isn't easy; first, you have to live long enough to become one. Then, people around you will expect you to share your wisdom, undoubtedly honed from all the battles you've fought. But that is fine, because that is all you have.

As a Veteran, you will have a better eye for deception and secrecy; your eyes know where they are looking, whether it is a person's nervous tick or the shadows in a dark alleyway. You have also pushed yourself to the extreme, apparent in your bursts of adrenaline during combat. Surviving many battles has made you a natural leader, whether you like it or not, and your battle cries will inspire those around you to rally for one final strike. Even when all hope seems lost you'll be the last one standing, gripping your weapon and staring death in the eye, challenging it, like you've done countless times before.
