Farmer

You are the backbone of the land that you hail from, and a typical representative of the common people. As most ordinary citizens across the D&D multiverse, whether they care for it or not, come from a farming or ranching village and are generally born into a family of farmers or otherwise worked on a farm or plantation owned by someone with status in the past.

Suggested Characteristics

Most of the ordinary folk across the realms come from a farming family or background. As one of the common people, you are generally brought into the adventuring lifestyle out of necessity, curiosity, or perhaps both. Consider how your character came to be in the life they are now, did they always glare at the knights clad in shining armor that would come by on patrol through their childhood village? Or were circumstances dire, maybe you were forced to take on as a sell-sword’s apprentice in order to feed yourself and your family?
