You grew up on the streets alone, orphaned, and poor. You had no one to watch over you or to provide for you, so you learned to provide for yourself. You fought fiercely over food and kept a constant watch out for other desperate souls w ho might steal from you. You slept on rooftops and in alleyways, exposed to the elements, and endured sickness without the advantage of m edicine or a place to recuperate. You’ve survived despite all odds, and did so through cunning, strength, speed, or som e com bination of each. You begin your adventuring career with enough money to live modestly but securely for at least ten days. H ow did you com e by that money? W hat allowed you to break free of your desperate circumstances and embark on a better life?
