Name	Starting Boost	Affinities	Description
Noble Scion	Presence +1	Presence Cunning Willpower	You're the youngest child of a noble family, with all the pampering and prestige that entails — not to mention training in arts of magic or battle to your hearts' content. As the youngest child, though, you had little hope of inheriting power and so now seek your own fortunes on the frontier. Your noble upbringing imparts a bonus to Presence.
Hunter	Agility +1	Agility Toughness Cunning	You were born and raised in the wilderness of the northlands, surviving by your skill with a bow and your attunement with nature. Like you, your parents were adventurers, and left early in your life. You're used to living alone — you're quick, quiet, and fleet of foot after years of living in arboreal solitude. Your life as a hunter has given you greater Agility.
Soldier	Strength +1	Strength Toughness Agility	The life of a soldier in the ruins of the Belharan Empire is hard and brutal, requiring constant physical fitness and training. You've served in conflicts against monsters and barbarians, and now bring your skills and experiences from the frontlines to the frontier. Your rigorous training has given you a bonus to Strength.
Barbarian	Toughness +1	Strength Toughness Presence	You're a barbarian, a savage wildling from beyond the borders of civilization. Though your tribe exemplified the warrior's code of honor and bravery, that did not save them from the orcish raiders who wiped them out. Only you survived, forced to seek out a new life beyond your clan's homelands. Your barbarian prowess grants a bonus to Toughness.
