Secret Bloodline

Cost: 3 XP Requirements: Can only be taken in Character Creation

The circumstances of your birth have the chance to significantly complicate your life. You might have been the illegitimate child of a noble, raised by a heretic, or descended from a notorious historical figure. Work out the details with your GM: why it has remained secret, who would aid or respect the character if they learned the truth, and who would become a deadly enemy.

When you reveal your heritage in a social encounter, you are expected to behave similar to your infamous ancestor, for good or ill. You defy expectations when you attempt to break out of your ancestor’s shadow.
