d4 Defining Event
1 A deity, celestial, or other similar creature has chosen me to face a world-threatening evil.
2 I accepted the mission of a fallen hero and have sworn to see it through.
3 My village elder has sent me on a journey to face a great threat to our home.
4 I have discovered my destiny, written ages before I was born, and have set out to face the evil that was prophesied.
 
Feature: Spirit of Courage

A true hero never falters, no matter the odds.  Your courageous spirit inspires the people around you, earning you the trust and support of those you meet.  Common folk will find it easier to put faith in you, and will support you in the face of danger and ill circumstance however they can, so long as you haven't shown yourself to be undeserving.

 
Suggested Characteristics

You've learned much from the tales you heard in your childhood, but perhaps even more so from the people and world around you.  These lessons have shaped your ideals and made you close with the things that are most important to you.  However, selflessness is not without its flaws, no matter how virtuous it may be.
