Charlatan Ideals (d12)

d12 Result

1

Independence. I am a free spirit -- no one tells me what to do. (Chaotic)

2

Fairness. I never target people who can't afford to lose a few coins. (Lawful)

3

Charity. I distribute the money I acquire to the people who really need it. (Good)

4

Creativity. I never run the same scam twice. (Chaotic)

5

Friendship. Material goods come and go. Bonds of friendship last forever. (Good)

6

Aspiration. I'm determined to make something of myself. (Any)

7

Improvement. The game is only fun if it's as over the top as possible. The more working parts the better. (Chaotic)

9

Wealth. I'm going to be the richest person I know, no matter the cost. (Evil)

10

Equality. It isn't just because it pays more. I steal from the wealthiest people I can find to even the playing field for the rest of us.

Loyalty. Don't con other con artists and don't go to the guards. We're in this together. (Lawful)

Theatricality. They're not paying me for what I'm selling them, they're paying me for my performance. I can hardly be blamed if some of them don't realize what it is. (Chaotic)

I fleeced the wrong person and must work to ensure that this individual never crosses paths with me or those I care about.

I owe everything to my mentor -- a horrible person who's probably rotting in jail somewhere.

7

I learned how to run a good con with a group of several other unfortunates. My team is still out there somewhere, and if they call I'll always answer.

8

I had a lover in my past that I miss terribly. Sometimes I don't notice when I'm being flirted with because of this.

A friend of mine and I were caught spinning mischief as children. That friend was carted off to prison. I intend to get them out.
