Artists are sought after and respected individuals all over the world. No matter their race age or gender, all artists are loved for their talent to place life and emotion into things such as clay, stone and paint. As an Artist you have perfected your art to the point that people pay to see you and pay your for your grand works of art. When choosing this background for your character you must ask yourself these questions: Is your character self taught? Are they a natural at what they do, or must they work as hard as they can everyday? Is your character struggling or successful? If they are indeed good at what they do, are they well known or new to the artist scene? Do they have a high opinion of themselves or are they humble? What has brought them into the world of adventuring? Did they choose to follow a band of warriors for inspiration? Or are they caught in the midst of a mess they cant get out of?
