Legionnaire
As a member of the Legion, your life is devoted to the service of angels and consecrated to the work of establishing justice and peace on the streets of your country. You might be a true believer, inspired by the example of the angels, moved by the plight of the downtrodden, and devoted to the cause of justice. Or you could be a cynic in the ranks, perhaps because you reluctantly followed in the footsteps of a parent, succumbed to the persuasion of a chaotic recruiter's lofty promises, or were drawn in by the prospect of a life of action.
