Cheerful

Happy and optimistic, you rarely feel down. Usually, you wake up with anticipation for what the day will hold. Your good spirits aren’t necessarily something you try to share with others, because you know that what lies in another’s heart isn’t for you to change. But sometimes your mere presence and lighthearted nature is enough to mend sadness. Of course, sometimes bad things happen to you too, and your basic nature is suppressed for a time. But eventually, your light-heartedness always returns.
You gain the following benefits:
Bright: +4 to your Intellect Pool.
Skill: You are trained in one activity that most would consider to be a hobby, such as woodworking, singing, writing, and so on.
Skill: You are trained in tasks related to making friends, ending conflicts, and making a positive first impression on strangers.
Inability: You have a hard time recognizing when others aren’t as bright and forthcoming as you. Tasks to detect falsehoods and disguises are hindered.
Initial Link to the Starting Adventure: From the following list of options, choose how you became involved in the first adventure.
1. One of the other PCs asked you to come along because of your pleasant nature in the hopes that it would help bond the group.
2. You were just trying to be agreeable, but you ended up agreeing to go on a mission.
3. You woke up with a great idea for an expedition and got the other PCs to join you.
4. Your cheerfulness saved you from violence when bad elements confronted you. Instead of beating you (or worse), they told you about something that led to your mission.
