Glory Fist Assassin
Assassin is not an honorable profession in the martial world of the Valiant Societies. However some more pragmatic orders acknowledge that murder, though not necessarily righteous, is a useful tool for maintaining the stability of both the martial and secular worlds. Though they do not publicize it, the Glory Fists have a secret school that trains students with the right aptitude and mindset in this dark art. Assassins are referred to as "Students of Master Shi" within the clan, and many young disciples hope to meet this mysterious recluse someday. Outwardly such assassins appear to be normal warriors or citizens until the time comes to strike.
As a student of Master Shi you deal in death. You have long been set apart from the other disciples and taught the arts of stealth and subterfuge. You were told to cultivate the blustery air of a hot-headed Glory Fist. Make people fear that you will kill them for any slight, and when you do kill a target nobody will question why. You may end up on the wrong side of the authorities, but the martial world has its own laws, and so long as you hold to the appearances of those you will have many allies.
- Cipher. Who you are depends on the mission. Disguise is your weapon, so consider a False Identity. If you are ever caught you will be Wanted in both the secular and martial worlds.
- Killer. You eschew stealth for force. Everyone knows you are deadly, but no one would dare call you an assassin. Consider a Frightening Look asset and embrace the Violent fault.
- Shadow. You have been taught the more esoteric and magic styles. Take spells from Shadow Magic as your assets. A dangerous training accident may have even made you Supernatural.
What kind of assassin are you? Do you kill for honor or for pay? Do you believe your actions help the greater good, or does it even matter?
