==Noble==
==Noble==
Nobles are the most socially adept people in the universe. Nobles are often public faces that make a public rally for people to follow their lead, but just as commonly a noble can be the leader of a crime syndicate pulling strings and manipulating from behind the scenes. A noble must always be completely composed; if he loses his wits then all that he knows will be lost before he can blink. Nobles are commonly wealthy in one manner or another, there are many forms of wealth besides the number of credits a person has. Many nobles trade the lives of their subordinates just as readily as they do money, drugs, or merchandise. A noble’s image is often his life; his image may be of a cruel tyrant, a devout politician, or a shrewd merchant whatever the case may be a good noble never lets anyone see anything else. Perhaps he is as true as his image appears to be, but more commonly the life of a noble is much, much more complicated.
