Messenger


You have always had skill with moving and never asked any questions on why's, it's just when. Were you a private messenger, conveying messages that both stopped and started wars or were you just a simple post man, delivering letters to old women in the wilderness? Have you received special training in getting around, or did you just get good? Were you from a prosperous family and struck out for yourself, or did you come from a poor family and work to support your family? Do you take the conventional ways of getting around, or do you strike out to make everything quicker?
