Protector

You grew up in an orphanage, abandoned by your parents before you could remember and neglected by those supposed to care for you. But instead of becoming bitter to the world around you, you saw the needs of others and responded in kind. You became a protector of the weak, the shelter for those who could not care for themselves. From a young age, you've devoted your time to caring and protecting those you considered under you care. You survived, despite all the odds stacked against you, and even managed to thrive in your own way, creating a little niche in the world that was for you and those you chose to look after. 
You began your adventure from the city you grew up in with nothing more than enough to survive for a few days at most. Why did you decide to leave? What happened to those you were protecting? What could have convinced you to abandon the post you held for so long as a shield for the unfortunate against an unforgiving world?

Suggested Characteristics

Protectors are molded by their strong moral compass and desire to protect the defenseless. They tend to gravitate towards groups of people who need help as well as positions of power that grant them the ability to help others more easily or more freely.
