Military Dependent Image
As a child one or more of your parents had served as members of your governments military. Though you did not serve yourself as a child, you gained familiarity with the military lifestyle, and gained experience with all of the various cultures and peoples that your kingdom is home to. You lived a pattern of moving every few years as the military re-allocated the resources it had at it's disposal, one of which was your family. You got good at saying hellos, and even better at saying goodbyes. Each new move was another chance for you to re-invent yourself, and while this didn't necessarily mean that you were confident, it did cause you to become fairly comfortable and familiar with the identity you settled into.
 
 
Skill Proficiencies: .
Tool Proficiencies: When the military commanders had need of your parents talent on a temporary basis, they would send you parent on deployment for many months at a time. 
In that time it fell on you to pick up the slack that your parents absence has created. You learned to be proficient in area's you otherwise wouldn't, or often times earlier than would have been expected of you, out of necessity. 

As such you have proficiency with the operation of Land Vehicles, as well as one other tool that helped complete the work that was needed while your parent was deployed. 

Languages: .You have been stationed in any location that your people have access to. You have been able to interact with the unique peoples in all of these locations, and have had the opportunity to practice the use of languages that many others do not get the chance to do with much regularity
Equipment: With access to many of the same shops and stores your parents had access to for equipment, you had the opportunity to purchase martial gear unprovided to others. 

Should you choose, you may switch out one option for your starting gear in exchange for an option in the fighter classes starting gear that you are proficient with. If you do not choose to utilize your classes starting gear choices, then remove the cost of the item from your starting currency.

 
Feature: Third culture kid

Since you have experience with many different cultures and peoples you usually have familiarity with a larger number of cultures than most peoples of a similar age and vocation to your own. Should you choose to you also tend to fit in more easily with peoples from differing cultures outside of your experience, as you have more experience with not just the large obvious differences between cultures but also the subtle nuances that can, unbeknownst to both participants, create large differences in the social interaction experienced between these two parties.

When unable to convince members of the local populace to shelter you, you often times know of an old acquaintance of yours that was from relatively close to where you are or has moved nearby to where you. When able, these individuals will happily provide you (and your party if they have room and resources enough) shelter, rest, or even a place to hide and possibly even something to eat. As long as they believe you to be in the right, they will hide you from those seeking you, even if doing so causes them a reasonable degree of danger that will be small in consequence for them.
