You travel far and wide, delivering parcels, mail, and important documents. You've delivered love letters across the continent, and carried precious packages through unimaginable circumstances and environments. Yet neither rain, nor sleet, nor scorching heat shall keep you from the swift completion of your appointed task. Persistent in the face of overwhelming obstacles, as a mailman you carry out your duty with a smile. You are usually a popular figure when you arrive into town, as your presence inherently carries with it an aura of excitement at receiving news or items.

Feature: In the Loop
As a world traveler and deliverer of news and objects, you have a fairly substantial knowledge of the demographics, politics, and general information regarding certain areas. These areas will be places that you've visited most, as part of your delivery routes. While traveling through places that you've made stops to before, you have a familiarity with the local customs of that region, allowing you to fit in more easily. However, thanks to your worldly experiences and the characteristics that are associated with your job, people who recognize you as a Postman will often ask you for news of relatives or other areas, which you may or may not be familiar with.
Suggested Characteristics
A postman will generally be a determined and strong-willed individual, with not many ties to a specific people or place. They do their job not because it brings them fame or glory, but because if they don't deliver, nobody will. A postman will complete their task without fail, usually with a smile. Reliable and dependable, these bearers will make sure what they're carrying gets to where it's supposed to go.
