You have spent the last six years of your life learning the ways of the adventurer. Omaris' School of Adventure boasts three possible focuses; Combat & Survival, Arcane & Theoretical, or a blend of the two. Students of the three are known as Vermilion, Azure, or Amethyst novitiates respectively.
Regardless of which course of study you embarked on, as the years went on you were encouraged to focus on your own particular style. The lecturers spanned many disciplines allowing for you to tailor your study to your preference. Whether you graduated with distinction or barely at all, you are out in the world now armed with all the knowledge that six years can impart.

You attended Omaris' School of Adventure, but didn't complete your studies. Whether this was due to lack of interest in the subjects, or otherwise, you don't have the clout which a graduate might expect.
What you might lack in formal training, you more than make up for in approximate knowledge of most of what you were taught and self-taught lessons.
You may not be a graduate of the school, but you have something they don't teach; real world experience. You've done many jobs for many people since dropping out of school. You have an eye for the shadier side of the adventurer lifestyle. You tend to be more alert to danger and find it easier to spot double crosses before they are sprung.
In addition, you have some contacts around the world. They may be reputable merchants, or underground fences for stolen goods, but you have a small network of allies and informants.
