You have seen much of the world all that you possibly could. In that time, you faced down mighty storms, monsters of incredible legends, and those who wanted to stop you have seen worse than they gave. Your first love is the distant line of the horizon, but the time has come to try your hand at something new.
Discuss the nature of your previous works with the Dungeon Master. Were you a merchant, a sell sword, an explorer, or a pirate? How well known were you? How widely traveled?
You spent your youth under the sway of a various powerful groups, a ruthless cutthroat who taught you how to survive in a world of cheats and savages. You’ve indulged in larceny on the high seas and sent more than one deserving soul to a grave. Fear and bloodshed are no strangers to you, and you’ve garnered some kind of notoriety (good or bad) in towns.
- Skill Proficiencies: You have the eyes of a traveler gaining proficiency in perception and one other skill of your choise.
- Tool Proficiencies: vehicles of any and all kinds are nothing but natural for you to control making your travel something simple and easy. You also know how to converse and gamble with the locals gaing proficiency with a gimbling set
- Languages: you have travelled far and spoken with so many people that the basic ideas and languages have become similar enough you have picked up the dialect and words here and there learning two extravagant languages.
- Equipment: you have travelers clothes a compass and map with you where ever the world takes you so you can make sure to find a way back or to where you are needed or wanted most.
You are a man of extravagance people are aware of what you are and what you'll do just through your first impression. When you are in a civilized settlement, you can get away with minor criminal offenses, such as refusing to pay for food at a tavern or breaking down doors at a local shop, since most people will overlook your activities if they are intrigued by you.
