Although born into civilization of cities, buildings, engineering, and advancement, you care not at all for those things. You love the outdoors, the untamed wilderness, the untouched expanses of plains, forests, deserts, and tundras. Beasts mean more to you than people, and you're pretty sure you mean a lot to them, as well. If you must spend time with people, at least let it be druids, rangers, and other outdoorsy types. Otherwise, can everyone just leave you alone? You'd like to take a long walk among the wonders of nature.

You are as comfortable in the great outdoors as any king is on his throne. When you are outside, you have advantage on Survival checks to forage for food, find drinking water, and make a safe, hidden camp. Also, when you take a short rest in a natural environment and you spend one or more hit dice to recovers hit points, you regain +1 hit point per hit die spent.
Suggested Characteristics
If only no one had ever invented walls! Why bother dwelling in cities, when nature provides everything we need--food, water, clothing, shelter, and even riches.
