Now you bear his mark. 1,You studied in a school infamous for its dark, brooding instructors and graduates. 1,You learned nano-sorcery (or gained your modifications) in the temple of an obscure god.

Although unwilling to accompany you on your journey, he remains indebted to you. 1,Your mother was a powerful nano while she lived, helpful to many locals. They look upon you kindly, but they also expect much from you. 1,You owe money to a number of people around town and don’t have the funds to pay your debts. 1,You failed disgracefully at your initial studies with your teacher and now proceed on your own. 1,You learned your skills faster than your teachers had ever seen before. The powers that be took notice and are paying close attention. 1,You killed a well-known criminal in self-defense, earning the respect of many and the enmity of a dangerous few. 1,You trained as a glaive, but your skills with the numenera and other types of lore eventually led you down a different path. Your former comrades don’t understand you, but they respect you. 1,While studying to be a nano, you worked as an assistant for a seamstress, making friends with the owner and the clientele. 1,Your family owns a large vineyard nearby known to all for its fine wine and fair business dealings. 1,You trained for a time with a group of Aeon Priests, and they still look upon you with fondness. 1,You worked the gardens in the palace of an influential noble.

You and she share discoveries and secrets readily. 1,You know a local merchant very well. Since you give him so much business, he offers you discounts and special treatment. 1,You belong to a secretive social club that gathers monthly to drink and talk.
