You are nobody, just another person in the ever-passing bustle. No one really notices you. If any one asked about you, most would say either, “Who?” or, “They’re alright, I guess.” Maybe you seek adventure because you want notoriety, your passing invisibility allowed you to hear a piece of a devious plot you shouldn’t have, or you want to gain the attention of someone in particular.

Feature: Unassuming
You are faceless among a crowd, so much so you become difficult to follow in a crowd and nearly impossible to track in a dense settlement. Further, unless you do something particularly noteworthy, people tend to forget they met you and have a difficult time describing you to others as more than average or plain.
Suggested Characteristics
For better of for worse, local people aren’t often noticed. They either lean into that for safety or desperately wish to be free of it.
