You were abandoned by your parents when you were 4 years old. You've always been alone and have done things your way. You don't care to find why they left you, but you cling to the medallion they have left you with. You had to figure out survival tactics on the first day. You have been in the forest for so long, you have come to respect nature and protect it. When you see someone harming nature, you interrupt them and try to convince them not to, be it by word or sword. You have become known to the surrounding villages and they have come to know you as "The Lost Boy". You don't care to know other people and try to leave a conversation as soon as possible for it being to uncomfortable for you. Animals tend to like you and help you when your being attacked or by warning you of danger. You've noticed when discovered by a large dangerous creatures that they leave you alone unless provoked. Your house is created in the base of a tree in the midst of the forest, you have never seen anyone with in 5 miles of the tree. You assume no one knows of its location.

You were wondering through the forest one day when you were around the age of 16-18 and while on your venture you discovered an opening hidden in the trees and in the opening was a ginormous tree. The tree was larger than any other you had seen before, at its base were flowers unlike to any you’ve come to know. You noticed that on one of the branches, there was a very small person with clear sparkling wings sitting down looking at you, it seemed to have a yellow glow all around it. You noticed it gave you a quick smile before your eyes faded to black and you were back at your house. You couldn't tell if it was a dream or not, but on that day you swore to always protect the forest in hopes to find the tree and the peculiar being.
Since you have been living in nature for the majority of your life, you become adapt to any terrain with up hill climbs, trees, water, snow, fog, or rain.

love this!
Maybe when you were young, not a specific age?
Cool! Needs a lot of tweaking though, you were also too specific. Also, could you add equipment?

As written, in my opinion, the background story isn't very conducive to choosing a profession. Great idea though. As mentioned before, it needs a lot of love.
This is a cool concept but it is to over powered
The concept is interesting, but it has been proven that a child abandoned in the forest becomes feral. That means he forgets how to speak or even how to do something more complex than feeding himself. Thinking of someone who comes out of the forest, without any form of civilised social interaction, with a profession is kinda unreasonable.
I would add in the class background that at a certain point the character was brought back to society, were he had to learn how to be "civilized".
You lived in the wilderness on your own with only a medallion and you are somehow proficient with every weapon there is?
what about an animal language? otherwise, really cool.
