You’ve been dealt a difficult hand. You grew up in society’s unforgiving underbelly, and from an early age you have had to resort to thievery or deception to find food and lodging. Through trial and error, you have learned what fools people and what does not. Living in the shadows on the fringes of society, you have quietly observed as other, more skilled rogues earn their illicit livelihoods. Seeking to emulate the most successful thieves and con artists, you have learned how to stay one step ahead of the law. | You’ve been dealt a difficult hand.

The most successful rogues know the other players in their game: crime lords, skilled pickpockets, charlatans, corrupt nobles, bribed guards, aspiring politicians, and the pesky incorruptible altruists among such folk. You make it your business to stay Informed on all such individuals. Are there any among these scoundrels whom you would trust? Would you ever try to form a family of sorts with any of these fellow rogues, or do you find that you only trust your own intuition? Even if you would never trust another rapscallion, what offer would convince you to work alongside another individual or group to complete a job? You should always ask yourself these questions, relying on both logic and gut instinct as your answers might change on a daily or even hourly basis. | The most successful rogues know the other players in their game: crime lords, skilled pickpockets, charlatans, corrupt nobles, bribed guards, aspiring politicians, and the pesky incorruptible altruists among such folk.

If you break your oath, you may no longer refill your poisons until reparations have been made. You can spend 1 AP to coat a weapon that has the Light property. The first vials are free, but new vials cost 20 sc each. | |You join Harlan’s Guild (Or another guild, as specified by your MC.)
