Ability: Curious

Descriptor Reveal: Mysterious 🕵️🌫️
The dark figure lurking silently in the corner? That's you. No one really knows where you came from or what your motives are-you play things close to the vest. Your manner perplexes and confounds others, but that doesn't make you a poor friend or ally. You're just good at keeping things to yourself, moving about unseen, and concealing your presence and identity.
Skill: You are trained in all stealth tasks. -
