You have a deep connection to beasts, animals and nature itself. You feel more at home in the wilderness or frontier. This connection has kept you aloof from most humanoids, unable to keep a job long enough to obtain wealth or material comfort, however you instinctively know how to hunt and survive no matter where you are. You have avoided most cities or large towns your whole life.
For as long as you can remember you have felt a longing in yourself to find a new place where you truly fit in. Sometimes the pull of the wild calls you to specific places or regions where the connection to your animal side throbs and flows naturally. You may have talked to a beastly deity at some point whether in disguise or openly, and that interaction has lead to a hunger for a deeper connection to the wild.
