You didn't grow up in the root of civilization, but you visited from time to time. Your small community refers to picking up supplies from the nearest city as "goin' to town," and it's usually a small event. Your parents may not have been farmers but most of your friend's parents were. For the most part, you had a quiet upbringing. You... were different. Maybe it was the romantic allure of the big city that started to draw you away, your sense of adventure, or perhaps you just thought everyone in your small village was a bunch of wierdos and you couldn't wait to get away. Whatever the reason, you scraped and scrapped until you could afford enough money and supplies to leave your home behind.

Suggested Characteristics
You appear slightly out of place when interacting with others. It can be off-putting or charming depending on your character. Regardless, your clothes and behavior while not entirely foreign seem a bit different to others. You often notice little looks and puzzling responses when you interact with others. Additionally, your sheltered life often leaves you confused during conversations. You don't understand references, acronyms, names, and places that most people seem to talk about with a passing ease. You would ask, but these things seem so common place to others that you hope you can one day figure them out on your own.
Contacts
People in the countryside are often weary of strangers, but not with you. Interacting with people from small villages and the countryside comes naturally to you. When interacting with anyone with a background from the countryside or small village you have advantage on persuasion checks. Additionally, if you have succeeded on a persuasion check with anyone with the above background, they will offer you a hot meal and a place to sleep for the night if asked.
