Suggested Characteristics

Small-town commoners are typically provincial and may have a hard time adjusting to life outside their long-time home. Money isn't something they had a lot of, and they may mishandle it. These people are typically salt of the earth, decent folk, whose flaws are born out of ignorance rather than any sort of malice.
