myself

Volt Steele was born in the slums of (insert town/city name) and abandoned by his unknown parents. He grew up as a thief for the entirety of his youth, and he stole and took what he needed to survive. While growing up, he traveled to whatever lands he could to earn coin and survive for years. Throughout these years of self-taught thievery, he gained experience in survival, knowing exactly where to look for goods (Investigation), how to properly sneak around for some B&E (Stealth), how to trick the cops into being some ‘poor and misfortuned boy who’s lost his way in life’ (Deception), and flexibility (Acrobatics). His main ‘forte’ during his life of crime was some classic breaking and entering, and considered pick-pocketing a “weak” challenge to his skills. For most of his life at this time, he’s lived as a Rogue. When he was 18, he was finally caught for his multitude of petty crimes after attempting to steal from a church of Baphomet. The Elder Priest of the church decided not to press charges and offered to take Volt in. Volt reluctantly accepted, he only accepted the offer as an easy way to a better lifestyle than what he was currently living under. Slowly, but throughout the years he began to change from his life of crime. He eventually chooses to become a Monk of Baphomet to refine his skills for helping others rather than himself. He also takes the opportunity to gain some new skills that would help his path as a Monk. He embraces his old life as a lesson and a fortune in life, and thanks his life of crime for his skills that he can now use to help others. He still has contacts in the criminal underworld he keeps in touch with, though these relationships have been shaky. While he is changed, he still has parts of his old criminal self within him. Recently, he has proved himself to the elders of his church as a worthy Monk, and he goes off on a journey in the name of Baphomet. He still uses his old contacts as a way to keep himself informed with what’s changed since his life of crime, and uses this intelligence gathering as a major assets in his journeys. The only reason he is still trusted by his old contacts and any new contacts is because he has gained the reputation of not detaining his old friends/mentors/contacts, and his reasoning for not detaining his old contacts is out of respect and thanks for the lessons they gave him in his past.

You and your adventuring companions can expect to receive free healing and care at a temple, shrine, or other established presence of your faith, though you must provide any material components needed for spells. Those who share your religion will support you (but only you) at a modest lifestyle.

You might also have ties to a specific temple dedicated to your chosen deity or pantheon, and you have a residence there. This could be the temple where you used to serve, if you remain on good terms with it, or a temple where you have found a new home. While near your temple, you can call upon the priests for assistance, provided the assistance you ask for is not hazardous and you remain in good standing with your temple.
