Sagittarian

You are a Sagittarian, born under the Sagittarius sign.  Sagittarians often travel the world even before adventuring, and can be found as merchants, doctors, or even philosophers.  Consider the places you've visited, the impacts you've made, and the lessons you've learned on your travels.  While Sagittarians are prone to explore, perhaps a particular place or event drew your character into the journey.  What, or who, did you leave behind in the process?

The well-traveled lifestyle of a Sagittarian lends itself to a life of adventuring.  Work with your DM to determine how your character joined their current adventuring party.  Did they meet someone in particular on the road who gave them a job?  Perhaps the adventurers were already traveling companions prior to undertaking a quest.

Scattered Precision

The attention of a Sagittarian is straight as an arrow, but with no target.  These highly passionate individuals are easily attracted to new ideas, becoming swept up in an experience before something else comes along.  This leads a Sagittarian to pursue their interests with fervor, but also leads them to be fickle in their long term aims.  Due to this tendency, Sagittarians are often outgoing and optimistic about their ventures.

Suggested Characteristics

A Sagittarian may not be present long, but they leave a trail of influence wherever they go.  These fluid individuals can have a widespread impact and experience a staggering variety of what life has to offer, granting them a widely informed perspective.  They must maintain their passion and practice discipline, however, or they could find themselves becoming overly impulsive, self-absorbed, and harboring a gaping hole in their heart, as they are desperate to fill it but unable to properly cultivate a meaningful existence.
