Well, you do need this, no need to bother pretending otherwise. You now have all the elaborate skills and manners needed to be a members of even the highest courts in Europe. While you’re focused on Spanish for obvious reasons, you speak at least half a dozen other languages, always know which spoon is for what, and never forget the right way to dree or treat people of varying social stations.
*In the event that you’re in a situation you don’t know the right manners in, you find that you can learn very, very quickly. It takes you days and weeks to master new languages, and hours to perfect complicated dances is the level we’re talking here.
300 Swordsman
Ah. Well, you didn’t think we’d leave out this, did you? Simply put, you’re right at the edge of being utterly superhuman, when it comes to your body. Your physique is exemplary, such that you could win Olympic golds in not one bust all categories with even the barest training.
Speaking of which, the place this shows the best is in fighting. Despite the name, you’re an absolute demon when it comes to unarmed as well as armed combat. The martial arts of the far east may be unknown to you in California (or they might not), but you would have a superb talent for them all the same.
You can master in days and weeks what it normally takes people years to get proficient in, particularly when it comes to any form of swordsmanship. You start out a genius with every form of blade used in Europe, along with every form of unarmed combat, mounted or otherwise. Seriously, you’re deadly.
600 Art and Education
Are really rather vital for this profession, aren’t they? Good thing you have both, and in spades. You are a phenomenal artist, first and foremost. Be it drawing, painting, singing or writing, you have the ability to take all the passion and emotion you’re supposed to repress and pour it into the art, creating works that would be feted as wonders of humanity for centuries to come.
These years have many masters worth the name, but if you put in an effort you could easily be among them, a Picasso much before his day. And that’s just the art. You also have the education and knowledge that would be required to be a good priest, with a solid mastery not only of Latin but also of many Native American tongues, along with an exemplary knowledge of the sciences, history and all the rest, flawed as it might be.
Finally, you’re amazing at both improving yourself in these things and passing all of this along. You can teach years worth of knowledge in weeks, and learn just as quickly. You could take uneducated brats by the dozens and turn out smart young men fit for the Spanish court, all in a month.
Items
100 The Pistol
Whoo, nice! Well, not that nice. This is pretty much just a simple pistol of the kind you can find in this day and age in this world. It does have some advantages, specifically that no shots from it ever miss the target, and that it never needs any maintenance… or new bullets, for that matter.
Oh, and in future jumps is evolves according to the world, becoming whatever local equivalent to an ordinary pistol there is, be it a more advanced pistol, a blaster or even a wand. It automatically gives you the skills needed to not blow your own nose off or something, but nothing further.
100 The Title and Name
Don Jumper, is it? Well, now it is. You have your very own aristocratic title, along with considerable estate and wealth to go along with it, in the forms of several thousand acres of land, a trade empire of some sort, or some combination of both.
This is yours without question if you’re a Hidalgo or an Administrator. It might be a church or Monastery land that you control if you’re a priest, or an inheritance you receive shortly after arriving if you’re a Drop-in.
Either way, the lands are very productive and rich, and the businesses also turn enough of a profit to leave you enviably wealthy by the vast majority of people. In future jumps too, you receive the equivalent in titles and/or wealth under one of the factions in the setting, enough to make you among the most powerful men in your chosen country.
200 The Position of Authority
Well, you can’t do anything without it, can you? This is a legitimate, official position at the highest levels of government, second only to the Governor’s in the level of power it gives you. You could move vast amounts of money, or order about armies or change landscapes with simple orders.
In future jumps too, you receive a position close to the top in one faction’s government, be it in the army or the civilian side, close to the top. You could be a Cabinet Minister, or a General or an Admiral second or third in command of the whole Army or Navy, that sort of thing.

00That Spanish Beauty
Well, maybe not Spanish, strictly. But you are a phenomenally good-looking young man/woman, all broad shoulders and dainty features, enough to be a figure of dreams and imagination after a single look.
The exact details of your complexion and stuff is up to you, of course, but however you look, you look great.
200Money Manager
Gold. That’s what California’s all about, isn’t it? Good thing you’re a genius when it comes to managing it, then! You are what we call in scientific terms ‘absolutely genius’ with all things money. In California it means multiplying cattle numbers and crop yields, in France it might mean managing your investments, but whatever the market might consist of, you remain able to beat its pants off.
Everything from being a wealthy landlord to a corporate CEO or accountant, or even managing money for a nation as a King’s Treasurer or Finance Minister is in your ballpark, and you’re nothing short of stellar at it. Money multiples under your care, seemingly getting attracted like you’re a giant gold-affecting magnet or something.

100La Justicia Badge
Or rather, a generic badge of identity for any secret society. Well, it’s generic until you use it. This badge proves you as a member of any one of the secret societies running around here. Once used, it becomes a badge for that specific society, inapplicable on the others barring extraordinary conditions.
You get one more in every future jump, all operating under the same rules.
200Goldmine
Well… there’s not much else to say here. While not quite what you see in M ask of Zorro , this is a fair-sized mine, already being worked by a generic NPC force. It produces somewhere in the vicinity of fifty kilograms of gold every month.
It can either be pure gold or gold alloys or a mixture of them, up to you. It can even be the alloys that don’t exist naturally, somehow. So… yeah. Go nuts.
