Dispatch Rider
In a country oppressed by the Thousand Years' War, the martial professions and all the figures that have to do with battles and military campaigns in one way or another are often strictly codified and regulated. Dispatch riders are generally young people still not very useful in the weapons trade but who, like field attendants, pages, and squires, are part of bands and armies who provide support or service to the troops. In particular, dispatch riders are experts in traveling long distances quickly and covertly, memorizing coded messages, crossing wild areas, dodging enemy patrols, and telling lies and misleading when stopped and interrogated.

Skill Proficiencies:Β Athletics, Survival
Tool Proficiencies:Β One type of game set, vehicles (land)
Equipment:Β A rank insignia, a pouch containing a secretΒ pocket for dispatches, a dice set or a poppycock card deck, aΒ set of common clothes, a pouch containing 10 sp.

Feature: Through Good and Bad Weather
The whistling wind, the raging storm, a pair of shoddy shoes, and yet, if the captain gives the order, someone has to go out into the night to deliver orders and messages of primary importance. Dispatch riders have learned to be unstoppable, delivering their messages at any cost. When they travel, they ignore effects that slow movement if due to the climate's unfavorable conditions or the territory.

Suggested Characteristics
The character served as a dispatch rider during some military campaign that happened a long time ago, on behalf of a company or a real army, over a few months or even for many years. This activity has profoundly marked the Knave, for better or for worse: perhaps they're still connected to the ideals or factions of that long-ago war, to the comrades and commanders of the past, to the places that served as the setting for certain battles. Or, on the contrary, they've been shocked by such events. Maybe they realize they sided with the wrong flag for years, or they've become disillusioned with war in general. Regardless, the courage and determination showed in those situations, and the abilities acquired, will accompany the Knave throughout their lives.
