13. Who has your character learned the most from during their life?
Texto
Nearly every human owes some portion of their personality, strengths, and weaknesses to the people around them, and usually, a few people in particular stand out as mentors—although their influence is not always positive. Who has taught your character the most about life, for better or for worse?
An instructor in your character’s school might have set them on their current path, or a parent’s influence might still guide their actions. Your character’s lord might have served as a political mentor, showing them the value of compassion—or of ruthlessness—and thereby shaped their ethos for life. A good marriage might have led your character to a true peer who helped them overcome a challenge or personal obstacle, while a bad marriage might have left your character jaded about relationships overall. Having to care for a younger sibling or child might have caused your character to develop in unforeseen ways. Losing a loved one might have driven your character into anguish, or it might have forced them to grow in ways they never thought possible to stand on their own. A disastrously bad relationship or a long-running feud with a hated rival could have forged your character into the person they are today. Your character might even have met a supernatural being who has served as a guide or patron, or one who set a curse upon your character in exchange for giving your character power or as punishment for transgressions against the Celestial Order.
In the Relationships section of the character sheet, record the name of the person from whom your character has learned the most, along with the nature of their relationship. Then, choose one of the following options and gain the listed feature:
One advantage related to your character’s mentor and their relationship.
One disadvantage related to your character’s mentor and their relationship, and 1 rank in a skill that your character developed as a result of your character’s closest confidante and their relationship.
If you want to create your own advantage or disadvantage, consult with your GM using the guidance in Creating Custom Advantages and Disadvantages, on page 137.
