Traveller Image

Due to a series of events from your past, you chose the way of a traveller. A wanderer, never settling for too long or for too short. This path is lonely for some, for others, a chance to meet new people from different lands. Either way, your time travailing the lands has taught you the ways of many places, their culture, languages and ways. Wherever you go, a familiar place, person or thing reminds you of one of your travels.

Variant Traveller: Criminal

You are an experienced criminal with a history of breaking the law. You have spent a lot of time among other criminals from many different places and still have contacts within the criminal underworld. You travel through the world of murder, theft, and violence that pervades the underbelly of all civilisations you encounter, and you have survived up to this point by flouting the rules and regulations of society, and, when necessary, leaving and starting fresh in a new place.

 
Variant Feature: Criminal Contact

You have a reliable and trustworthy contact who acts as your liaison to a network of other criminals. You know how to get messages to and from your contact, even over great distances; specifically, you know the local messengers, corrupt caravan masters, and seedy sailors who can deliver messages for you.
