Gate Defender

You have spent your life in defence of your neighborhood and city, Golik City. Your home is not granted the boons of a protective barrier like Eridian, so it actually takes blood sweat and tears to keep your home safe. You joined up with the defenders, working under the GPD (Golik Police Department) as guards and soldiers preventing the horrors of Kaga Island from entering the city. It has a high turnover, and doesn't pay well at all, but respect in this town goes much further than self-serving creeps with money. This is your town, your people, and your home. Your willing to put yourself on the front lines to defend it in all it’s flaws.

Ideals

d6Ideal
1Greater Good. I would lay down my life without a moments hesitation if it means defending someone else, especially someone who can't defend themselves. (Good)
2Responsibility. It is the duty to serve that pushes me. I have a responsibility to make this place better then when I found it. (Lawful)
3Have a Little Fun. Can't all be doom and gloom. Plenty to see, do, and hear this far from civilization. I have so much to share. (Chaotic)
4Put them in their place. The weak must find their place, and I'll show them where that place is. (Evil)
5Get Payed, Go home, Work, Repeat. All I want to do is jet the job done, head home, get some rest, and eat some good food. Honor and glory has nothing to do with it. (Neutral)

Bonds

3Struck a deal with the Red Caps mafia, they keep to there's, we keep to ours.
4The Corpos are ravaging the lands around my city to fuel their industry. The poor don't make enough working for em, and the city is chocking on fumes. I'll never forgive them.
