From the beginning, you were in the forest, with no recollection of why. At the start, you barely survived, eating plants, drinking from any water source around, sleeping in trees and caves, you were constantly dirty and dehydrated. As it went on, you started learning the forests and learned to survive by watching animals, sometimes befriending them. You couldn’t find civilization for years as you were mainly focused on surviving. You taught yourself to map lands and navigate them and made makeshift tools to do so, they eventually broke overtime or got thrown out. Did you find civilization later? Did you find clues to your past? Where will you go from here?
- Skill Proficiencies: Nature, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: Your proficient with Cartographers Tools and Navigators Tools
- Equipment: A set of common clothes, 50 feet of hempen rope you found attached to a tree, a faded photo you woke up with, and a belt pouch containing five gp.
Feature: Deep Forest Riverwalker
You have an excellent understanding of forests, rivers, and their features, and are able to navigate through forced it terrain and along rivers at 33% faster pace than normal (3 hour travel only takes 2 hours), not including roads/routes that cut through forests. In addition, you can find food and fresh water for yourself and up to five other people each day, provided that the local land/rivers offer berries, small game, fresh water, and so forth. (Credit to TMinckley, found this feature from him)
Suggested Characteristics
Your character will most definitely prefer the wild over civilization in most cases, and they probably love exploring. They will usually be some sort of neutral as they don’t really have an opinion of people.
