Mercanary (Folklore)

Mercenary

Medium Human

Mercenaries are professional soldiers, with no ties to a singular nation or king, who fight in wars for gold. Different from fighters, who see the combat as an end in it off itself, for mercenaries the warrior path is only a work line, and the sword is a mere tool used to achieve this goal.

Some mercenaries look for a higher social status, either by being respected by his riches, achievements or even by the chance of earning or buying a nobility title. Other, however, can strive for a more personal purpose, following a personal belief or ideology, only accepting contracts that align with this code of honor and conduct.

Mercenaries usually rely in tactics, careful planning and extensive training to be always in shape for any type of task that their missions may present. Very observant, even during the heat of combat, a mercenary will always keep his mind calm and try to exploit weaknesses of his foes and find advantages on the battlefield to take advantage off.
