Hero Wannabe

You had a modest and normal childhood. You always admired heroes, and heard bards tell tall tales of their prowess and bravery. You dreamed of becoming one, but you lacked the talent and were mocked for your weakness. Still, you kept your dream, and fought very hard for a chance to prove everyone you could be a real hero. One day, your chance to realize your dream would come...

Skill Proficiencies: Choose 2 skills from History, Persuasion, Deception and Athletics.

Tool Proficiencies: Choose one artisan's tool proficiency, and either an instrument or one type of gaming set.

Equipment: A weapon, a set of artisan's tools, a set of traveler's clothes, and a pouch with 10 gp. You also carry with you a book with songs and tales of heroes, or a memento from a hero.

Suggested Characteristics

Your dream is your compass. Everything in your mind is centered on it. But where and when did you first realize it? And what is to be a hero for you? 

Hero aspirants maybe a little too idealistic and naive. They may underestimate an opponent, or simplify a situation to make it fit their ideas of a "heroic setting". They like to think the world in black and white, and may stumble along the way as they grow in experience.
