The nomad is a wanderer, a survivalist accustomed to life in the wilds. As a nomad, you have traveled far and wide, making your way through dense forests and over high mountains, perhaps settling down from time to time when the weather is too harsh to permit travel. You know how to live off the land, and have honed the requisite skills to such a refined degree that you are now able to do so while on the move. You are as comfortable - if not more so - sleeping on hard ground under the open stars as you are on a feather mattress with a roof over your head. The outdoors are your home, mother nature your guide.
Feature: Wanderlust Adaptability
As a nomad, you have can easily adapt to any biome, as well as pick up on bits of language and social norms in new civilizations with relative ease. This helps you maneuver through unknown territory without a disadvantage and allows you to blend into the local crowds effortlessly.
