The Venturers began with Avia Cieldebraag, who was the first to travel to another planet. Now, the Venturers are a large force across many worlds. You are one of billions tasked with exploring the galaxy. You have permission to enter places few others can. You have spent a lot of time traveling between planets, rarely staying in one place for very long. In the time you travel, you have seen many places, worlds most people could only dream of.
Work with your DM to determine how long you have been a Venturer, where you stand in their ranks, and how far you have travelled. Are you new to the trade or have you seen it all? Are you second in command or a low-ranking scout?

Your status as a Venturer opens many doors for you-literally. Upon presenting your identification, you will be allowed to travel to any Venturer-controlled area. There, you will be accommodated with a lifestyle for which you need play only half. Other residents may have mixed feelings about Venturer's depending on the region, but though they may not welcome you warmly they will welcome you.
Suggested Characteristics
