Traveling Challenger Image

You have decided to venture to the outskirts of your home, away from your people and those you know, your reasons "the call to adventure", "curiosity to the unknown" or perhaps "boredom". Either way your new path awakens in you the desire to fight and keep fighting until you find a reason to stop still you have not gone crazy or lost your reason for being, your heart, mind and body ask to find your equal in combat and overcome it again and again perhaps as rivals or perhaps as enemies or allies of some kind whatever the reason you want to meet her/him this is your goal or your duty that is only your decision.

Your beginnings are common, your home lives in peace and resources have never been lacking but such a life does not feel comfortable for you, during your stay in your home you helped as a merchant or helped in the fields or participated in the militia of your home but this feeling in you remains the feeling that something is missing.

Everything you learned in your home has given you contacts from different places and different social levels, including some favors still to be received. You have received basic training in the arts of combat and even exchanged knowledge with those with experience in warfare or missions but you are not exactly a master of these.

what or who are you looking for?, what is it that lights this flame within you?, what is it that inspires this desire to grow through combat?, what is it that attracts this gladiator without a coliseum to this challenger without an opponent these are questions that only your heart can answer and maybe a little adventure along the way.
