Until recently, you lived a life of boredom. Your personal life was uninteresting, your job was monotonous, and you were never involved in anything noteworthy. You were an upstanding citizen; you paid your taxes and obeyed the laws of the land, but... people hardly noticed you and your boss never appreciated you. One day, you just couldn't take it anymore. You had to get out of there and do something interesting for once. So to get back at your boss, you stole something of value from him and ran off into the night. From that day forward, you were on the run. You just know that one day they'll find you and you'll be thrown in the dungeons or killed. So you're always on the move, keeping to the shadows and wearing disguises. What you don't realize is that no one cares enough to look for you and if you were caught your punishment would be minor.
