Your come from a family of seriousness and discipline. From the moment you were born, your path was set: work for the family business, get a spouse and some kids, settle down and do as you're told. But you've got other plans. A penchant for the dramatic, a love of adventure, a little magic and excitement that nobody could have predicted... there's no way you can stick around. So you hit the road, and who knows, maybe you'll never look back.
