===The Scholar's Life===
'''Destiny Cost: 2''' (This Loresheet is free for Scholars) <br>
You may choose one of the following options, or work with your Sage to design a new one; additional options may be purchased for 2 Destiny each.
*'''Black Market Fortunes''': Sometimes people need predictions made, and they don't necessarily want word getting back to Bagua Tower about the subject matter.  That's where you come in.  Maybe you do a legitimate business as a front, or your 'back room' work is even just for special customers only, but you're on the wrong side of the Sidereal Codex regardless.
**'''0 Bonus''': Once per chapter, you can declare that an NPC has made use of your services, and this either gives you leverage over that NPC, or otherwise makes him or her inclined to help you out.  The Wulin Sage has final say over such a declaration in cases where it would be especially unlikely.
**'''0 Bonus''': You have a '''Politics Specialty: Criminal Underworld''' or '''Confidence Specialty: Resist Interrogation''' for free.
**'''0/5 Disadvantage''': You're '''Marked by the Guardians'''.  While you haven't violated the Codex seriously enough to put you in mortal jeopardy, your infractions have come to the attention of Bagua Tower, and you could be hauled in at any time.  Gain 1 extra Destiny when this sticky situation gets you into trouble. 
*'''Licensed Diviner''': No one can manage to avoid running afoul of ''all'' the myriad proscriptions in the Codex, but you keep your license up to date, you file your reports, and generally do your best to stay on the good side of the Bagua Tower.  
**'''0 Bonus''': Being a law-abiding diviner has its benefits; once per story, you can trade on your good reputation to avoid trouble  (even serious trouble) with the Imperial authorities
**'''0 Bonus''': You have a -2 Destiny discount to one of the Three Arts expertises.
*'''Street Seer''': Businessmen and bureaucrats can afford to make use of the professional diviners (legit or otherwise), but just because the poor can't afford such services doesn't mean that they don't share the need to get a look into what's ahead.  You serve the underserved, working in the narrow streets of Pan Gu's Gullet, the Tangles, Uyghurtown, or some neighborhood like that.
**'''0 Bonus''': You are beloved and respected by the people who come to you; once per chapter, you can gain some small but significant favor from that community.
**'''0 Bonus''': You have a -2 Destiny discount to the Story of the Old Ways.
*'''Scholar to the Stars''': The Great Clans, the largest mercantile concerns, the syndicates and the companies don't rely on independent operators for their divination needs; they do that work in-house, and none of it ever gets reported to the Tower.  Maybe you believe in your employer's cause, or maybe you just believe in the pay, but either way you enjoy a freedom from interference that few of your colleagues could imagine.
**'''0 Bonus''': Once per Story, you can declare that you have come across an important secret regarding your employer.  You and your Sage can work out the details, but it should be significant enough to give you significant leverage over your employers, or reveal something significant about their agenda.
**'''0 Bonus''': You have a '''Politics Specialty''' relating to whomever it is employs you.
**'''0/5 Disadvantage''': You are a '''Double-Agent''' -- secretly employed by a rival of your nominal employer, you pass along whatever you learn about their operations, and perhaps even sabotage their forecasts!  Gain one extra Destiny in any Chapter that you are in danger of being caught out.
