Feature: Commanding Presence[edit]
You are experienced in leading groups of moderators. Whenever a group of guards, watchmen, or any other policing force is in sight of you, you can easily fit into and lead them. The DM may overrule this feature when appropriate, such as in situations where you are disguised or disliked by the society you are in.
Alternate Feature: Fallen Admin[edit]
Whether through a coup d'etat by the moderators or simply a server deletion, you are no longer mod but you still retain a group of loyal followers that are willing to serve you as long as you do not intentionally send them to harm or otherwise displease them. You have 3 devoted servants that are willing to do most chores for you, but will not follow you to obvious danger such as caves, dungeons, or other places with hostiles.
Suggested Characteristics[edit]
Despite being natural leaders, Discord admins are usually disliked and so usually develop a rather defensive and unfriendly personality. Most of the time though, they actively ignore their peers to focus on themselves.

| 3 | Arguments are something I see every day, and I'm good at ending them. |
| 4 | I take great pains to look the best to my members. |
| 5 | Despite being an admin, I enjoy engaging with my members and have a good relationship with them. |

| 7 | I always plan for failure, regardless of my chances. |
| 8 | I have a bad temper and will get angry at the smallest insult. |
| d6 | Ideal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Friendliness. If your people don't like you, you aren't a good admin. (Good) |
| 2 | Freedom. Who cares if they broke the rules? I don't see anything especially wrong. (Chaotic) |
| 3 | Enforcer. Not a single rule breaker can go unpunished. (Lawful) |
| 4 | Iron Fist. "Oh, what's that?" Banned. (Evil) |
| 5 | Black and White. There's no such thing as an unwritten rule; you know you broke something when you do. (Lawful) |
| 6 | Better Priorities. I don't care about my members--I have a life to take care about. Bother my mods instead. (Neutral) |
| d6 | Bond |
|---|---|
| 1 | I'm actually friends with the owner of a rival server. |
| 2 | My server will thrive. I will do all I can to make it so. |
| 3 | The political opinions that I have will be applied to my server. Whether they like it or not. |
| 4 | I want a girlfriend. |
| 5 | My streaming account will be famous, and I need a Discord server for that. |
| 6 | My server is unique, and it must stay as unique as possible. |
| d6 | Flaw |
|---|---|
| 1 | "Hey, kitten. You awake?" |
| 2 | Get banned, lol. Why? I dunno. |
| 3 | "Welcome to the server! Now here's a 400 page long document on the rules." |
| 4 | These pesky members aren't worth my time. Screw off. |
| 5 | I haven't left my room for... how many years now? |
| 6 | I doxxed several of my members that tried to oppose my rule. I'm okay with that. |
