Runaway (Monastery)

You grew up in a monastery, trained in the ways of discipline, meditation, and martial arts. Over time, you became disillusioned with the teachings and the life you were expected to lead. You witnessed or experienced abuse at the hands of those who were supposed to be your mentors and protectors. Realizing you needed to escape this toxic environment, you fled, determined to get as far away from the monastery as possible. Now, you wander the world, seeking purpose and truth beyond the monastery walls, carrying the skills you learned and the resolve to carve out your own destiny.
