 |1 ^The Awakened |You were perfectly content to be a useless layabout, comfortable in your family's vast wealth until one day you got really, REALLY high and remembered a previous life lived millenia ago. You know now the secret ways of embalming a body to ensure its passage to the afterlife, and how to cheat the process and return a sort of life to the dead. Clearly something went wrong with Assholetep's embalming, and you're pretty sure it's your (previous incarnation's) fault. You were high at the time. Some things never change. \\ \\ **Archetypes:** [[Concoctionist]], [[Doper]], [[Necromancer]]. | |1 ^The Awakened |You were perfectly content to be a useless layabout, comfortable in your family's vast wealth until one day you got really, REALLY high and remembered a previous life lived millenia ago.

-|2 ^The Doomspeaker |The world is doomed in any of a thousand different forms, and you've been cursed with the ability to see them all before they happen. Avert one and another springs up to take its place; your work is never done and your face is never smiling. You've tried to warn them, those fools, but it turns out that wearing a signboard with "THE END IS NIGH" written on it isn't very effective. It's time to be more proactive about heading off catastrophe. \\ \\ **Archetypes:** [[Chekov]], [[Harbinger]], [[Oracle]]. |+|2 ^The Doomspeaker |The world is doomed in any of a thousand different forms, and you've been cursed with the ability to see them all before they happen.

 |3 ^The Earthmover |Over a decade ago you found steady work punching through the unforgiving Sierra Nevada mountains as part of the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. Your skilled understanding of dynamite and natural ability to shout commands contributed to your quick rise to crew foreman, but in the end you were the only member of your team to survive the experience. Nobody believes that kobolds are real, much less that they caused the accident- but you know what you saw that night and you still have the magical digging iron they left behind. \\ \\ **Archetypes:** [[Burrower]], [[Grenadier]], [[Tactician]]. | |3 ^The Earthmover |Over a decade ago you found steady work punching through the unforgiving Sierra Nevada mountains as part of the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad.

-|4 ^The Firebrand |In ancient times the earth held the race of djinn, mighty beings neither good nor evil created of smokeless fire. One was magically bound to serve as guardian of Assholetep's tomb, but he got distracted by his love for a mortal and eventually passed from this world. That was your grandfather, and you carry a spark of his supernatural fire in your fleshy mortal body. You also carry a bit of his obligation now that his charge has gotten loose. \\ \\ **Archetypes:** [[Firebug]], [[Thrower]], [[Wishmaster]]. |+|4 ^The Firebrand |In ancient times the earth held the race of djinn, mighty beings neither good nor evil created of smokeless fire.

 |5 ^The Monarch |Norton I, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico, died in your hometown of San Francisco in January. Most people didn't take him very seriously, but you did- maybe that's why he selected you as his successor and heir, and gave you all that he had to give. Rockefeller didn't ask you to come and isn't quite sure how you got your hands on one of his invitations, but that doesn't matter. As the rightful ruler of these lands, it's your responsibility to see threats to it driven out. \\ \\ **Archetypes:** [[Blade]], [[Negotiator]], [[Sovereign]]. | |5 ^The Monarch |Norton I, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico, died in your hometown of San Francisco in January.

 |6 ^The Neo-Witch |You used to sell rare books, until one came into your hands that was definitely rarer than all the rest. Was it desperation or mere academic interest that led you to read that rough leather-bound grimoire? You learned such horrible, beautiful, useful things from it. Some say you're damned now, a dabbler in things man was not meant to know. They don't understand the truth, but you do- that the forces Assholetep wields will someday poison the earth and change the face of the world entirely. That's why you know more than anyone that he must be destroyed. \\ \\ **Archetypes:** [[Healer]], [[Hex]], [[Shotgunner]]. | |6 ^The Neo-Witch |You used to sell rare books, until one came into your hands that was definitely rarer than all the rest.

-|7 ^The Phantom |You are the ghost of an 17th-century aristocrat. Since your death you've witnessed the collapse of many of the feudal systems you took for granted while alive and the birth of multiple new nations among what you still think of as "the New World". It's all very interesting and exciting, which is why you absolutely refuse to do the decent thing and pass on. Boredom is the worst possible fate, and the afterlife sounds rather boring (if it even exists). This job offer, though? Not boring at all. \\ \\ **Archetypes:** [[Deathtouch]], [[Spectre]], [[Undead]]. |+|7 ^The Phantom |You are the ghost of 17th-century aristocrat.

 |8 ^The Pinkerton |These are rowdy, lawless times and like many others with a talent for deduction and violence you've gained employment with the Pinkerton Private Detective Agency. Or at least, you did until you were bitten one night by what you (at the time) thought was a stray dog. Now you've been infected with lycanthropy and live outside the cities, fearful of what might come to pass should you stay. \\ \\ **Archetypes:** [[Gunslinger]], [[Investigator]], [[Shapeshifter]]. Special: When in wolf form, you lose access to your [[Gunslinger]] and [[Investigator]] archetypes but gain replacement abilities from the [[Lacerator]] and [[Ranger]] archetypes instead. | |8 ^The Pinkerton |These are rowdy, lawless times and like many others with a talent for deduction and violence you've gained employment with the Pinkerton Private Detective Agency.

 |9 ^The Shapeless |You remember delving in a cave as a youth and coming into contact with a strange slimy substance, warm to the touch, that rapidly engulfed you before you even had a chance to scream. That was when you died, but also when you were born. Your memories are human, but your body is that of the slime that absorbed them wrapped around your (mostly) intact skeleton. You can change your face as much as you need to if you want to look different, but your appetite is as strong as it ever was. \\ \\ **Archetypes:** [[Charlatan]], [[Devourer]], [[Mordant]]. | |9 ^The Shapeless |You remember delving in a cave as a youth and coming into contact with a strange slimy substance, warm to the touch, that rapidly engulfed you before you even had a chance to scream.
