Rebirth of the World (NO SV, Welcome to the Renaissance)

[x]Plan the world on new foundations
-[x]Masterful Artisans: Your Father and mother were just ordinary craftsmen, however, they were skilled ones, versed in blacksmithing, architecture, and even Gunsmithing, perhaps even the best in Florence, even the best in Italy, if some were bold. They had been working until he was murdered, a rival shooting him and your mother as they returned from a meeting with one of the new leaders of the city. Two pistols right in the heart. The Murderer was going to kill you, but his weapon misfired, and the guards saved you. Now you were alone, in an empty workshop, and so many plans.
-[x]Blood of the Dragon: Your destiny is something far more than just living a normal life. You will rise above all, as a conqueror. And nothing will stop you, not even Death.
 
[X] Plan To Steal Fire from the Gods

The Murderer was going to kill you, but his weapon misfired, and the guards saved you. Now you were alone, in an empty workshop, and so many plans.
-[X] Bigger Picture: You have always believed that in the future humanity would operate on a scale far greater than that of an individual. That society would reach for the stars not from the efforts of a single paragon, but through the cooperation of the sciences and the sharing of knowledge. You have found yourself a burgeoning leader, capable of understanding and managing people.

Edit: Is my write-in trait ok?

Anyways, my reasoning for my vote is that there are no fantastical, supernatural things in this Quest. In reality, history does not often change on the word of an individual. We will need allies and cooperation to truly accomplish anything.

[X] Plan: Diamond In The Rough
-[X] Brigands
-[X] The Native Blood

The backstories are really compatible here, our mother was a pickpocket who was eventually recognized as such because of how her Latin American looks made her stand out, and now the town guards want us out both because of her crimes and what they see as 'tainted blood'. I'd love to see how we try and reach out to our native spirits without knowing much of anything and no community devoted to them.

No SV, You Are A Heretic!

-[X]The Native Blood: Your Mother was from the New World, brought by Columbas and his expeditions as a captive and a trophy. When your mother was ill, father had taken her away from Madrid, and had indeed, made her his wife. When you were born, you had heard stories of your spirits, your gods. And they struck you in a way that Christ never did.
 
[X] Plan Devil's Cross
- [X]Brigands: Your Father was a Criminal. That much was certain. He loved to steal, take, and o provide for his family. He did not care so much about who he took from, only that he acted with honor and with restraint. Mother was a pickpocket, being able to fleece anyone with charms and wit, never harming anyone, and even returning some money when it was appropriate They were good people. Their captors did not believe in such things. They cut father's head off. And then they killed mother, her body breaking before her spirit. You were alone. A Stain on the world.
- [X]Blood of the Dragon: Your destiny is something far more than just living a normal life. You will rise above all, as a conqueror. And nothing will stop you, not even Death.

Let's make our name one that our foe fear (as in void their bowel when they hear that we are coming for them)

-[X]The Blood of Christ and God: You have always been enamored into the symbolism of your scar, and the church in general. Studying has made you friends in the church, and even the local bishop has taken interest in you.
 
Why do so many of the options seem to riff off Batmans's origin?
We could just as well decide to get revenge for our parents as... Il Pipistrello

[X] Plan of Banks and Spies

All I shall say is that, at the moment, you are really in for a tough time no matter the choices.

Because I like Batman.

And having our parents be killed by plague seemed so absolutely boring!

    [X] Plan of Banks and Spies
    -[X] A Scheming Bankers: Your Father was one of the wealthiest bankers in the Post Medici Florence, using the glut and the power vacuum that the family getting exiled out into the World to gather great wealth and power. But even his newfound power, and that of his influential friends, he could not be saved from vengeful assassins, agents of the Medici who sought the weakest link. They were murdered. But you are now under the care of your father's longtime assistant, a man whose loyalty is absolute, at least to his new young master. Vicente.
    -[X] The Street Rat: You have always believed those that are below the filth are the cleanest. They are friends and who understand everything in the city, even more than those who lead it. They see you as not just one of them but something more.

    [X]Plan Mercenary Legacy
    -[X]Mercenaries: Your father was a skilled warrior and a renowned commander, while your mother had a talent for logistics that, together, allowed them to establish a formidable mercenary company known from Lombardy to Sicily, and even beyond the Italian Peninsula to a degree. Alas, all it took was a single battle gone wrong for your father to meet his end, with your mother passing from illness shortly thereafter, leaving the future of the company in question.
    -[X]Blood of Warriors: You have the blood of soldiers in your veins, and never has anyone claimed otherwise. You will fight and die. But your battles will be your own.
