conditions. They have been trained to resist
torture and to never divulge information they
dont want to. Further more, their training has made them
experts in deception and persuasion. A diplomat has been
trained to get out of any situation using only his words.
The Science of Microexpressions
Diplomats have been trained to read microexpressoins or
facial cues. These cues can show the true intent of a person
before they show thier hand. Diplomats use this information
to their advantage to gain knowledge that most wouldnt be
able to aquire. This allows them to act before the enemy can
suprise them. If the expression shows ill intent towards the
diplomat or his alies, he can relay this information as to be
ready for when the enemy strikes. This training also makes
diplomats experts at deducing lies from the truth.

Years of Training
Diplomats have gone through extisive training to aquire their
skills. To begin with, the diplomat went through harsh
courses to ingrain the signs of deception into their heads.
They would be tested in a real world enviorment, if they failed
they would be forced out of their acadamey. If they suceeded
they would move onto the next course, persuasion. Diplomats
were trained to persuade even the best, they have been
known to even be able to beat the zone of truth with enough
pratice. They can dodge even the most well worded question
by giving vauge answers that could mean anything. Once they
passed that course they were trained in insight. For their final
test they would be put in a crowded area and told to find the
assassin. If they failed, they would be killed as to preserve the
good name of the diplomats. If they suceeded they would
graduate from the academy and sent out to work their type of
magic.

Creating a Diplomat
When Creating a Diplomat you need to think about where he
or she was trained. How you got into the academy, and how
close you came to failing the tests. Were you forced into this
job by your controlling parents or did you choose yourself?
Did you leave or were you assigned to a agressive party as a
way to fix the problems that violence couldnt fix? Did you
turn evil and use your newly found power for your own
benefit, or do you use your powers for the good of the
common man? Most Diplomats are True Nuetral as to not
take sides and to be fully able to go however far they need to
diffuse a situation.
