In case the Faceless background rolls successfully for initiative in the game release come August/September, I am posting the suggested characteristics of the Faceless background here, to better enable the Hand of Fate:
Suggested Characteristics
Faceless usually play their persona-the hero or extraordinary person they are every day. That's all a facade, though, or a part of them expressed to an extreme. To define a persona, feel free to choose characteristics from other backgrounds, particularly Folk Hero, Hermit, or Noble. For the person behind the persona, the one who truly strives to be faceless, consider a distinct set of faceless characteristics. As a result, those with this background have two sets of characteristics, one for their persona, and one for their faceless selves.
d8 Faceless Personality Traits
1 I'm earnest and uncommonly direct.
2 I strive to have no personality-it's easier to forget what's hardly there.
3 I treasure a memento of the person or instance that set me upon my path.
4 I sleep just as much as I need to and on an unusual schedule.
5 I think far ahead, a detachedness often mistaken for daydreaming.
6 I cultivate a single obscure hobby or study and eagerly discuss it at length.
7 I am ever learning how to be among others-when to stay quiet, when to laugh.
8 I behave like an extreme opposite of my persona.
d6 Faceless Ideals
1 Justice. Place in society shouldn't determine one's access to what is right. (Good)
2 Security. Doing what must be done can;t bring the innocent to harm. (Lawful)
3 Confusion. Deception is a weapon. Strike from where your foes won't expect. (Chaotic)
4 Infamy. My name will be a malediction, a curse that fulfills my will. (Evil)
5 Incorruptibility. Be a symbol, and leave your flawed being behind. (Any)
6 Anonymity. It's my deeds that should be remembered, not their instrument. (Any)
d6 Faceless Bonds
1 I do everything for my family. My first thought is keeping them safe.
2 What I do, I do for the world. The people don’t realize how much they need me.
3 I’ve seen too many in need. I must not fail them as everyone else has.
4 I stand in opposition, less the wicked go unopposed.
5 I am exceptional. I do this because no one else can, and no one can stop me.
6 I do everything for those who were taken from me.
d6 Faceless Flaws
1 I am callous about death. It comes to us all eventually.
2 I never make eye contact or hold it unflinchingly.
3 I have no sense of humor. Laughing is uncomfortable and embarrassing.
4 I overexert myself, sometimes needing to recuperate for a day or more.
5 I think far ahead, a detachedness often mistaken for daydreaming.
6 I see morality entirely in black and white.
Good luck and Godspeed, Larian.
