Foreigner

You are a foreigner in a strange, new land. You came here searching for something new. Perhaps it was to make a name of yourself in this new land? Maybe you chose to travel to a new place to start fresh after escaping a less-than-desirable life back home? Or maybe it was just a good, old-fashioned call to adventure that got you away from what you knew, and thrust you into a new world full of who knows what? 

Whatever your reason, you're here now. You find yourself pretty open to the new ideas, customs, and laws that this new world offers. You're constantly looking for the next chapter in your new life and are excited to see where each story takes you while it's events unfold. There's always the chance that old friends, enemies, and experiences may pop up in your new journey, but you welcome it because you'll get to see just how this new world has affected them too. Whatever you encounter, you'll be ready and willing to face it head on.

Suggested Characteristics

As a foreign body in a new land, your life is constantly having new elements thrown into it. You don't really have a permanent place to stay and are either taking shelter in inns or finding new places to camp for the night. Locals all have different reactions to you ranging from warm and welcoming to cold and sometimes violent. Not to mention the new barrage of sights, smells, and tastes you never would've dreamed of back home. Every interaction is new and sometimes exciting to you.
