You were farmer. That's very simple. You might also been a child raised in farmer family. What matters for you is family and the land. You have basic skills that let you effectively cultivate a field and breed animals. You are not afraid of physical work. For some reason you left your farm and went on a adventure. Maybe you were bored with simple lifestyle and wanted to experience magic and see exotic cities from the legends? Maybe your farm was invaded by the band of orcs? Anyway, this world seems bigger and more complicated than you could imagine.
