Characteristics:
Lawful Neutral
This was the first and probably hardest trope for me to pick. From her perspective she is very Lawful Netural, but from the view of others... she could be Lawful Good, Chaotic Good, or even some form of Evil depending on the circumstance.
Weak But Skilled
This one is a bit of an exageration, but for the most part she makes up for her lack of brawn by finding clever ways around it. She is by no means a master of swordsmanship or anything of the sort though.
Unfettered
This one was also very tough. I'm still not sure if she is Unfettered or Fettered, but I'm leaning toward unfettered at the moment. When she has a contract to fulfill, she is pretty blind to any other secondary objectives she might have. This also goes for a few others things. I'm still formalizing her code/beliefs.
Walking the Earth
She travels. A lot.
Nerves of Steel
Explosions and giant dragons? No problem. She'll keep her cool and try to figure something out and if nothing seems to be possible she might just make one of those last stands.
The Philosopher
She derived her own set of world view from what she picked up on the road. This make her prone to discussion about things that other people might not think about. She never attempts to force her views on others though.
Crazy Prepared
After travelling with caravans that are prone to being raided by whatever greedy or downright evil folk are wandering around, she tends to pack something for every situation she can think of. Spare sword? Why not five?
Know When To Fold Em
This one may seem to conflict with some of her other traits, but even when she is hooked on an objective she maintains her sense well enough to figure out whether or not the route she is taking is the best one. Sure, you could attempt cutting down an entire fortress of soldiers... or you could try sneaking in.
Honor Before Reason
...even if no one has ever made it in to said fort alive.
Beliefs:
Grey and Grey Morality
This one is kinda hard to explain. She think sher beliefs are entirely logical, but her perception on morality could be considered strange by most people. At times she appears to view the world in a very Grey v. Grey Morality, so she doesn't actively get involved with most moral debates and simple views both sides as particpants. She'll only take sides if there is some reason beyond what is considered "right" and "wrong". This could also be considered Blue v. Orange Morality especially to those with a very clear sense of what is right and wrong.
Epiphanic Prison
Most of her beliefs are centered around the idea that we choose the prison we live our lives. But on her more optomistic days she wonders if there is a way that one can entirely break all the chains that bind them in the world. This is what this trope represents to her.
I Gave My World
Will Not Tell A Lie
These two go together in a sense. She is almost psychotically truthful and as such will never make a promise she would not keep as it would be just as damaging to her perception of her own integrity as outright lieing.
Is NOT:
Glacier Waif
Dumb Muscle
Knight In Shining Armor
Note: This was a really fun exercise. It helped me flesh out my character a lot.
