In my experience the “smirking in a dark corner of the tavern and has no living relatives or friends” characters don’t really learn or change much on average; it’s often a default setting that allows for murderhobo antics, or so the player believes.
I’ve been kicking around the idea of a character like this but I don’t play. Basically privileged teen, rich-ass parents, best education (was thinking maybe sorceror: basically the kid was handed everything in life), but he wants to play street rat.
I figure a sorceror masquerading as a rogue would be a big liability for a combat heavy campaign, but it could be pretty awesome for a rp focused one.
My character a long time ago was a prince who ran away from home to find a treasure. He was rich, well educated, but still a teenager. Like a rebellious teenager. In the campaign he turned into an assassin who ended up killing the Queen, his mother.
Those are the best characters though. They learn and change so much.

Also bonus point if you can name my inspiration.
Aladdin, no doubt.
Nope, he was actually poor.
Ah, I meant the film Aladdin, specifically the character Jasmine. You’re right, the character Aladdin doesn’t fit the concept.
Oh, that makes more sense.
