The delCorso family were not nobility, but they were very rich, and quite ambitious. In fact, they had quite a few “interesting’ connections here and there… As a child, Thea was rather studious, far more interested in academic subjects, and especially in music, than she was in the social politics which drove her family. Her elder siblings were lined up for advantageous marriages, but even from an early age, Thea had no interest in such things. Instead she was educated and prepared as a asset of a different sort- instead of going to the public schools provided by the Church, she was educated by private tutors, and in time she was packed off to an actual university, in the city-state of Torisco. In addition to a world-famous library, the university offered education in the arts, including one of the few true schools of music on the continent- it was hoped that, in time, Amalthea would return home with the sort of academic and artistic accomplishments which would enhance the family’s reputation still further. It was, after all, no secret that the delCorso family wanted to be true nobility, rather than rich pretenders. (MORE TO COME)    Background: BureaucratThis background is quite similar to the Courtier, but it focuses less on nobility or high society and more on the civil government and laws. It could also compare to the Acolyte, if the “religion” is Commerce.  A bureaucrat is familiar with the normal workings and organization of the government, and with local laws (especially civil regulations).  Any city or nation of reasonable size typically has legions of bureaucrats involved in keeping things running smoothly- or causing an impenetrable logjam of regulations and paperwork. This is, in fact, one of the most certain signs of “Civilization”.     >Skill proficiencies: History, Insight (or Investigation)  >Tool proficiencies: Calligraphers tools or Forgery kit  >Language proficiency: High Common  >Feature: “Paper-pusher” You have a well-developed knowledge of how government works, particularly in your home nation or city, including a reasonable knowledge of most local laws. More importantly, you know how to navigate the mazes of bureaucracy and paperwork that keeps civilization running- and how to use such mechanisms to your advantage. You may not have any particular contacts, but your knowledge of bureaucracy, legal jargon, and civil procedure can be an invaluable asset.  >Specialty: Clerk, Scribe, Lawyer (“Lawscribe”)[/sblock]</blockquote>
