Feature: Friends in many places.
Since you come from the ranks of the common folk and have travelled well, you fit in among them with ease. You can find a place to hide, rest, or recuperate in many communities, unless you have shown yourself to be a danger to them. They will shield you from the law or anyone else searching for you, though they will not risk their lives for you.
Suggested Characteristics
Your travelling life defined your outlook on the world but it is a very restricted life, driven by performance and without roots in any place. You have seen much and nothing at all.
