[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 7487502, member: 16814"] I'm playing a CN character right now. His background is a mercenary that's moved companies many times just before the leadership/local authorities took action against him. His philosophy is that you need to be well equipped to be effective, and that the others guys aren't his problem (he looks after his own, even if it means stealing from his own organization to get the best for his squad). His experience with "officer types" is such that he believes them to be merciless, conniving bastards willing to use you as a pawn to further their own ends -- glory or righteousness it's all the same -- your dead and they're not. This extends to anyone with more authority than a sergeant. He's helped enough lads that his solider background trait works out well as he's been a noncom in 10 different mercenary companies, city guards, and noble's armsmen that someone knows him or has heard of him, and, hey, none of the charges ever stuck, right? Point is, I'm highly motivated to aid the party not screw them over, but I argue strongly against helping the authorities (for whatever reason - good or bad). If the party decides to anyway, I grumble about it a lot and get to gleefully crow "I told you so!" when/if the betrayal comes. [/QUOTE]
