As a detail-oriented, even bookish, person, you have generally not considered a life outside of scrolls and book stacks, pens and parchment, and numbers which have made up a life dedicated to uncovering those great evils of the world like embezzlement, fraud, and forgetting to keep one’s receipts. You, of course, will never forget to ask for a receipt.

Your adventuring career began most likely by accident, for example, as you sought to uncover a counting error in your paperwork, the need to verify the existence of something, or a desire to interview someone, and were then caught up in the adventure.
