War Orphan

Orphaned by war and raised by a found family of survivors living outside the law, certain hard-earned tricks never quite fade.

Granted Features
Automatic:
Deft fingers lift concealed valuables without the usual penalty, and a master thief can even risk stealing from someone on guard.
Nimble fingers pick locks and disarm mechanical traps, though most tricks beyond palming a small object demand real training.

The horrors of war have left you orphaned and alone, forcing you to fend for yourself until you were taught the ways of the world by a group of similarly affected youths. They were like a new family to you, but you had to live outside the law in order to survive. Those days are behind you now, but there are certain tricks you'll never forget.
