Noble Refugee

Even though you grew up privileged, accustomed to luxury and convenience, circumstances beyond your control forced you to abandon the privileged life you learned to appreciate. The Weapon you trained your whole life with and the cloth you wore when you fleed, which are well hidden in your stack, serve as the only material reminders of your past. Now seeking refuge in flight you are forced to live and survive in the wilds, far from civilization and the comforts of town and technology. You witness the eternal cycle of life in nature and start to value its simplicity and straightforwardness. Not knowing if or when someone is coming for you, you try to avoid larger crowds, becoming part of nature and its eternal cycle yourself.

Growing up privileged let you become accustomed to luxury and convenience.

Suggested Characteristics

Due to the circumstances you often seem rude and uncouth among civilized folk, even though you were born and raised to a very different lifestyle than most people ever experience. Your personality can reflect that upbringing, where the opportunity permits. But the years in hiding have taken their toll. On the one hand you can handle yourself in the wild and in precarious situations, on the other hand you never really know who you can trust.
