Feature: Hospitality for a hero
The common folk and almost anyone who is not evil love a hero, they will let you fit in among them with ease. You can find a place to hide, rest, or recuperate among other commoners, unless you have shown yourself to be a danger to them. They will shield you from the law or anyone else searching for you. Very rarely, they may even protect you with their life by being a distraction to help you get away, or even fighting the danger themselves. You as a hero will try to avenge them to the fullest extent.
Suggested Characteristics
A true hero will stand against evil of all kinds, and will usually be traveling around the world to battle such evil. Usually the hero before their first adventure, went to a place to get training in fighting and survival, or maybe they went to a wizard school to learn magic. Maybe they were trained by a friend, family member, or mentor. After they are trained, they set out on their first adventure to fight evil. The hero will stop from town to town. The time the hero stays there may not be the same as well depending on what happens in the town. They will make friends along the way, and maybe theses friends will follow him on the hero's adventures and become heroes themselves. Maybe the hero will fall in love, and the one they love will join and follow the hero forever more.
