Akame, the Cunning Shadow's page

Akame is an assassin type Rogue, taking the Burglar and Poisoner archetypes. Obscurity is her forte. She is skilled in impersonation, infiltration, misdirection, reconnaissance and of course, assassination. My goal with her is to eventually take levels in the Shadowdancer prestige class, and possibly a 1-2 level dip in fighter pending necessity. (Would prefer to wield a wakizashi, but will settle on whatever is available.)

Her life before her imprisonment was spent primarily as a blade for hire, or mercenary. Without friends or family, she found herself forced to fend for herself, the current system under the reign of King Markadian V proved unable to care for those in her position, and even worse, hostile to the methods she would soon resort to for survival. She would take most jobs, and as her abilities became more clear to her benefactors, she ventured into the more subtle work. Her preference was to work alone, but she knows all too well the advantage of numbers and has learned to work well with others.

Stealing, killing, framing and blackmail were all things within her repertoire. However one such job led to failure, and ultimately her presence here in Branderscar Prison. She stood to gain much from the wealth she would gain from this particular job. Connections, mostly, both in teh Church and in the royal court. Greater access to His Highness and a measure of social standing. All of which would serve her ultimate goal of total reform.

Alas, it is what she deserves for placing trust in one who failed to earn it, her alias exposed she was soon captured. As such, plans to create a new alias are in the works, given of course she can escape her fate in the mines.
