Capricornean Image

You are a Capricornean, born under the Capricorn sign.  Capricorneans are enticed by fields that allow for a steady sense of accomplishment, and they prefer to learn from preexisting knowledge and build upon it.  You may have spent time as a lawyer, a scientist, a scholar, or an administrator before taking up a life of adventuring.  Consider the accomplishments you made, or that you wish to make.  Consider the institutional knowledge that you favor, and how it has colored and informed your perception.  You could be studying the writings of a mythologized leader or a well-respected researcher.

A Carpricornean might be drawn to adventuyre if they find the goals of a journey worthy of their time and effort.  They are likely to join longstanding or epic quests, although they may be drawn to smaller tasks if they see the rewards as worth their time, or at the very least as contributing to a greater, higher goal.  A Capricornean would not leave a project behind without something greater being presented.  What is your character looking to get out of their adventuring career?  A Capricornean will do best with a group of adventurers who have a clear goal in mind; wandering and meandering without purpose is a doomed existence to them.

Ambitious Traditionalists

Dependability, consistency, and ambition are key to Capricorneans.  These hardworking achievers are the salt of the earth, seeing themselves as representations of deep traditions and powerful virtues.  Capricorneans often look to the past and to conventional and rational knowledge, using tried and true methods to actualize their goals.  This means that Capricorneans are well-equipped for most situations, thought they may struggle with a problem that requires novel solutions or out-of-the-box thinking.
