Under each Bond: its Suggested Talents.
1. Life Debt Repaid (Positive)
One of you saved the other's life, and later the debt was paid back in kind. You're even now, and closer for it; neither of you keeps count anymore.
2. Debilitating Injury (Negative)
The one who was saved came away with a lasting injury. The savior still feels guilty for not preventing it.
3. Nursed Back to Health (Positive)
The rescue was only the start. The rescuer spent weeks nursing the other back to health, and the long days and nights of care built a trust that runs deep.
4. Unwanted Attention (Negative)
The rescue made a powerful enemy who now wants revenge on you both and keeps putting you in danger.
5. Taught to Survive (Positive)
After the rescue, the one who saved the other taught them how to survive in the wild, in the war or on the street. Now you both read danger the same way.
6. Haunted by the Past (Negative)
What happened was traumatic. Nightmares and flashbacks still come to both of you and cloud your judgment.
7. A Stranger's Kindness (Positive)
The one who saved you was a stranger who asked for nothing in return. That kindness moved you to follow them, and you've stayed by choice, not debt.
8. Endangering the Savior (Negative)
The one who was saved is so loyal they take reckless risks to protect the savior, endangering themselves and everyone around them.
