You have spent your life devoted to a singular goal: to aid others in wartime and treat the wounded to the best of your abilities. To some, you're a soldier because you've trained to defend yourself in the face of danger. To others, you're simply a physician trained to focus while a fight rages around you. Your understanding of herbs and humanoid anatomy has made you an expert in concocting tonics and salves to quicken recovery.
You may have a deity in the domain of war to whom you pray for guidance, or venerate a renowned warrior as the source of your motivation — a warrior whose prowess you try to emulate through healing, if not through combat yourself.
How did you become a nurse, medic, or doctor? Do you possess any fighting skills? Do you belong to any faction or do you serve in a temple? Consider these and other, similar questions when making your character. Perhaps you were grievously injured in battle, and the cleric who cured you inspired you to take this path.

Your services are widely appreciated, particularly among those who have also served, and troops and guards welcome you whenever you offer your assistance without having to join their association first so long as your presence doesn't endanger them. You can receive free food and accommodation whenever you find such a group, in exchange for offering medical aid, and your lifestyle is poor while doing so.
