Janitor

You've cleaned for a large portion of your life, since you were born or since you reached adulthood. Perhaps it was a habit which you grew into, rather than something that ill-circumstances forced you into. You may have tended to a structure or building in several ways: cleaning, repairs, occasionally guarding, and so forth. Maybe you were employed by evildoers to clean up their dirty work, or maybe you overheard conversations within the imperial halls where you've worked. This kind of special environment may have been a starting point for your sense of adventure; but at heart, you simply began by being the local handyman.

Types of janitor adventurers vary based on the kind of work they did and why. There are Cinderella figures, for example, who were doing chores their whole life until something prompted them to escape their life of drudgery to search for better horizons. Darker figures also exist, like the ones who run about looking for "cleaning" jobs, usually sought after by criminals to help them get rid of evidence, or even scour away their identities.

When you choose this background, work with your DM to determine the structure or building you worked at, the said structure or building's importance, what your job was like, and why you now moved to the adventuring life.
