Random Adventure party from Deskata Village
Background: Charlatan (I run sleight-of-hand cons on street corners.)
Personality: I lie about almost everything, even when there’s no good reason to.
I fall in and out of love easily, and am always pursuing someone.
Ideal: Charity. I distribute the money I acquire to the people who really need it. (Good)
Bond: I swindled and ruined a person who didn’t deserve it. I seek to atone for my misdeeds but might never be able to forgive myself.
Flaw: I hate to admit it and will hate myself for it, but I'll run and preserve my own hide if the going gets tough.
