Farmer

Almost as ignominious a start as can be,  you came to the adventuring life after an upbringing tending the land,  growing crops and raising livestock. You know the cycles of the land and while perhaps you're not as versed in the social graces and formal education, you have a profound connection to the land that sustained you for a significant part of your life. While some may look down on your humble beginnings, you know that you could do without city folk and nobles far easier than they could do without you and your sort.

Skill Proficiencies: Animal Handling, Nature

Tool Proficiencies: Cook's Utensils, Carpenter's Tools

Equipment: A set of common clothes, fishing tackle, a burlap sack containing 10 days' worth of rations,  cook's utensils, a small hammer, some seeds from a crop you grew.

Suggested Characteristics

Farmers are defined by their self-sufficiency as well as the tight communities that they tend to form. The lifestyle tends to promote a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality and this combined with the tendency to have large families often creates tight familial bonds as well as a distrust of outsiders. 

d8	Personality Trait
1	I'm always checking the conditions when I go to a new place to see how well it would take a farm like mine.
2	I'm very self-conscious about looking like a yokel, making me seem shy or withdrawn
3	I tend to gawp at things that are new to me.
4	I'll never miss an opportunity to prove that I can and will work harder than anyone else.
5	If I act like a corn-fed hick, it makes people underestimate me, and that suits me just fine.
6	I'd just as soon not have to deal with people. Animals are easier to trust.
7	Life on the road is great, but I tend to get homesick easily
8	I may have grown up on a farm, but that time is behind me, and I'd just as soon leave it behind.

d6	Ideal
1	Freedom. You handle your life, I'll handle mine, and as long as you don't stop me from doing what I want we'll get along fine. (Chaotic)
2	Altruism. If you can, you help a person out, even if that means you will have a harder time of things in the future. (Good)
3	Glory. I've had enough of digging in the mud, I'm going out to make my name and my fortune. (Any)
4	Resentment. I've spent my life being harassed by people who think they're better than me. I want to see them under my boot for a change. (Evil)
5	Consistency. The seed sprouts, goes to flower, and fruits. Try to harvest the sprout and you'll starve. Everything has its time and place, we just have to know when that is. (Lawful)
6	Exploration. I want to go out and see the world, for all that it has to offer — good and bad. (Any)

4	I need to find someone who can help cure the blight that's killing my farm.
