Noble Scion

Category: Background

Description

You are the younger child of a noble house of Eldemar. Your family name opens doors — and creates expectations you may never fulfil. You grew up with tutors, servants, and the constant pressure to uphold your family's reputation. At the Academy, your name precedes you — some students admire you, others resent you, and everyone watches you.

Starting Bonus

Begin with 3 extra Attribute Points to represent your privileged upbringing (tutors, nutrition, training). These follow normal maximums.

Connection

House Name. Once per session, you may invoke your family's reputation and political influence to gain an audience, bypass bureaucracy, or secure a favour from Eldemar's elite. The GM determines the scope.

Roleplay Hooks

• Your family expects regular letters reporting your progress — and your professors' political leanings.
• Another student from a rival house is in your year. The rivalry is centuries old.
• A family servant has been stationed in Cyoria to 'look after you.' They report everything back to your parents.

"My family didn't send me here to learn. They sent me here to win."
