A rogue, urban ranger, or other infiltrator style character will come in handy.<br/><br/>If you all don’t mind, I would like to include a traditional CS with this story since it’s going to be so heavily plot driven. It doesn’t have to be anything that takes pages to write, but a general idea is appreciated. Regardless of the pre-adult part of their past they will all ultimately have attended the Collegium Imperia, the highest institution of learning in all of Alera. For those who cannot afford the pricy tuition, it is common for prospective students to receive patronage from a citizen or noble who sees the merit of investing in the youth’s future. It is at this academy that you all meet, for it is there that you all were hand-picked based upon your skills, abilities, and loyalty to the crown to secretly train as Cursors. The course load was intensive since it was added on top of your standard education, fit to accommodate your individual talents. The basic elements that you were all instructed upon included combat in many styles, subterfuge, and espionage by a Cursor Legate by the name of Maestro Killian. His methods were brutal, cold, and intensive, but it was necessary to prepare you all to survive the cloak and dagger lifestyle awaiting you upon graduation. It was shortly following the completion of your studies that you were assigned to Damian.<br/><br/>As a bonus for completing your CS, you will all get to start with the following perks regardless of your class:<br/>-Proficiency with all Simple and Martial weapons.<br/>-Proficiency with Light Armor<br/>-Bluff, Diplomacy, Knowledge (Local), or Knowledge (Nobility) as a class skill<br/>-Perception, Disable Device, Stealth, or Sleight of Hand as a class skill<br/>-1 additional skill point to spend at each level<br/><br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[b]Player: [/b]<br/>[b]Character Sheet: [/b] (Link)<br/>[b]Name: [/b]<br/>[b]Gender: [/b]<br/>[b]Age: [/b]<br/>[b]Appearance: [/b]<br/>[b]Personality: [/b]<br/>[b]Brief Bio: [/b]<br/></code></pre><br/>If you have any questions regarding the social, historical, or regional aspects of this world, don’t hesitate to ask. Also, for any character that wishes to align themselves with a deity, just follow the traditional Roman pantheon for choices.
