Diogenes of Sinope's Pithos

Origin
Diogenes of Sinope was a philosopher and founder of the Cynic school of thought, which later evolved into Stoicism under his students. Diogenes was banished from Sinope for debasing currency and moved to Athens. He tried to live a modest, simple life with minimal possessions and ignoring the laws and rules of institutions. Due to this, he lived in relative poverty with only this pithos as a home and a lantern to search for an honest man. Diogenes scoffed at others ideas and publicly mocked fellow philosophers Plato and Socrates, and later Alexander the Great.

The user will challenge any established figure or organization they meet, coming up with clever explanations on why their opponent’s viewpoints are foolishness. Those affected will lose some of their patience and tolerance for others, especially for the famous and well regarded. The user will reject most material goods and live in an unclean and minimal environment.
