City Guard
Rank 1
1. Why did you want to join the city guard? Noble ideals, forced into it (parents? repayment for a crime?), just a job...
2. What is the first incident you were involved in on the job?
3. You see another Guard member break/bend a rule (pocket some food from a merchant you were getting info from, letting a pickpocket run away without giving chase, slacking off and not paying attention while at his post...) what do you do?
4. Where to you live? With family, in a shared guard house, in a palatial mansion
5. Do you take good care of your weapon(s) of choice? Do you sharpen/clean them often, make your own arrows or even know how to smith your own?
Rank 2
1. Is there a shady faction that you secretly harbour sympathy for or are all bad guys just bad guys? Why? (you've always had a crush on a semi famous GP thief, convinced a HoD assassin to kill your evil orphanage marm while just a child, daydreamed of the open seas and free life of a pirate... or had a GP thief you loved rob you blind, saw an assassin kill your parents, had a close friend pressganged into piracy...)
2. After helping a business owner with a Guard job (catching a troublesome pickpocket, chasing off some HoD intimidation squad, returned some stolen goods) the owner tries to repay you with an huge reward. (a large sum of money, a grand oath/life boon, the hand of his just of age first born...) How do you react to this?
3. Do you get along with your coworkers and hang out after Guard Duty or are you having trouble finding your own clique? Where do you hang out or get away too?
4. What is a particularly good day at work like for you? Completely uneventful (you hate chasing down the baddies), dragging a criminal in and making the streets safer, doing something heroic in front of a cute group of courtiers...
5. Another group from the Champions of Ahket (the army, navy, a group of mercenaries) challenge you (and some of your fellow guards?) to a friendly competition! Perhaps a wrestling match, mock fight, race, odd foreign traditional game...
Rank 3
1. You uncover a particularly heinous or huge crime. Could this be big break for your career, just the tip of an even bigger (and long running) case, do you single-handedly solve the crime/captured the villain...
2. Have you developed a street informant(s)? If so who, if not do you have another source of street information...
3. On a particularly hot day in the city a small argument breaks out into a huge street brawl which gets out of hand quickly. How do you deal with this? Safety first, run away or to get help, show off your own fighting skills and wade in, figure a creative way to stop the whole thing single-handedly...
4. You hear someone calling for help down a particularly dark alley on your way home from duty! Ignore it - your off duty, run to help, cautiously check out the scene... (is this a trap, is it a lost child, do you see some HoD thieves menacing a someone - then perhaps a GP thief jumps in and saves the day before you can react...)
5. You captured a notorious but popular thief. What are the repercussions? Does your house get vandalized, you find out the thief's parent's are super rich/influential nobles, gain the respect of your peers because they were afraid to do what you did...
Rank 4
1. You encounter something supernatural while on the job that borders on the unexplainable. Did a vampire mess with your mind, a shape shifter change into something that terrified you, a monstrous demonic beast ate a whole person in front of you...
2. You or a close friend/co-worker gets seriously injured on the job. What do you do? Seek a healer, gain a scar, realize that arrow will never come out of your knee and give up all dreams of any job other the town guard...
3. You (and perhaps some others?) are assigned to patrol a particularly dangerous/shady part of town. Is this a set up/trap, just a bad job that needs being done or perhaps a chance to show your mettle...
