Rolled up a new character for a new campaign in Knave that starts tonight. The physical traits all came up like slender, luxurious hair, pale skin, stunning face, flowery speech, gorgeous clothing, etc. The virtue came up as merciful, the vice cruel, and hardship exile, and the past as pickpocket.
I named her Elegia Redshirt after rolling a 2 for hit points. The GM has since bumped her to 8, so she may survive the night.
I was stymied by merciful and cruel, but made up a backstory to solve it: She was orphaned very young, raised by pickpockets, but exiled when the gang leader gave her an ultimatum at 15: be his consort or leave. Now she’s been on her own on the run for years having stolen the leader’s gear on her way out. Having been poor she is merciful and likely to take care of any urchin she comes across, but though hetero, she harbors deep misandry and is absolutely cruel to any man that shows interest.
