Background Points

Personality Traits:
Sarcasm and insults are my weapons of choice.

Ideals:
I'm determined to make something of myself.

Bonds:
I come from a noble family, and one day I'll reclaim my lands and title from those who stole them from me.

Flaws:
I can't resist swindling people who are more powerful than me.

Favorite Schemes:
I integrate myself into the lives of "fellow" nobles. I also provide letters and documents for a fee.

Languages:
I speak the Common language, and the Infernal and Abyssal spoken by my childhood friends.

Special Rules

False Identity:
You have created a second identity that includes documentation, established acquaintances and disguises that allow you to assume that persona. Additionally, you can forge documents including official papers and personal letters, as long as you have seen an example of the kind of document or the handwriting you are trying to copy. (Background)

Defender of Thentia
An honor bestowed for defending the Temple of Balance from Mechanicus assault during the elections. (Story Award)

Fighting Style:
Dueling When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

Second Wind:
You have a limited well of stamina that you can draw on to protect yourself from harm. On your turn, you can use a bonus action to regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your fighter level. (1/SR)

Action Surge:
On your turn, you can take one additional action. (1/SR)

Combat Superiority:
You may use maneuvers to enhance an attack. Your superiority die is d10, and the save DC is 17. (4/SR)

Additional Attack:
When you make the attack action, you may attack twice.

Know Your Enemy:
Starting at 7th level, if you spend at least 1 minute observing or interacting with another creature outside combat, you can learn certain information about its capabilities compared to your own. The DM tells you if the creature is your equal, superior, or inferior in regard to two of the following characteristics of your choice:
Strength score, Dexterity score, Constitution score, Armor Class, Current hit points, Total class levels, if any, Fighter class levels, if any

Indominable:
You can reroll a saving throw that you fail. If you do so, you must use the new roll, and you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

Spells

Vicious Mockery (v)
You unleash a string of insults laced with subtle enchantments at a creature you can see within range.
If the target can hear you (though it need not understand you), it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (15) or take 2d4 psychic damage and have disadvantage on the next Attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn.

Prestidigitation (v, s)
This spell is a minor magical trick that novice spellcasters use for practice.

• You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, faint musical notes, or an odd odor.
• You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire.
• You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot.
• You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour.
• You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour.
• You create a nonmagical trinket or an illusory image that can fit in your hand and that lasts until the end of your next turn.

If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.

Bane (v, s, m)
You curse your enemy with bad fortune.
Up to three creatures of your choice that you can see within range must make Charisma saving throws (DC 15). Whenever a target that fails this saving throw makes an attack roll or a saving throw before the spell ends, the target must roll a d4 and subtract the number rolled from the attack roll or saving throw. (1st Level)

Manuvers

Ambush
When you make a Dexterity (Stealth) check or an initiative roll, you can expend one superiority die and add the die to the roll, provided you aren't incapacitated.

Disarming Attack
When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to disarm the target, forcing it to drop what it is holding. The target must make a Strength save (DC 17) or the item lands at the feet of the target.

Parry
When another creature damages you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction and expend one superiority die to reduce the damage by the number you roll and your dexterity (d8+4).

Rally
In your turn, you can use a bonus action and expend one superiority die to bolster the resolve of one of your companions. When you do so, that creature gains temporary hit points equal to your superiority die and charisma (d8+3).

Evasive Footwork
When you move, you can expend one superiority die, rolling the die and adding the number rolled to your AC until you stop moving.
