Suggested Characteristics

Being totally average, many people see you as plain. Your quiet life has moulded you enough to have some personality, though.

 

d8	Personality Trait
1	I have a habit of absorbing traits from people I admire.
2	The world outside my front door fascinates me! So many new things to learn about!
3	I spend a lot of time waxing poetic about the life I left behind.
4	I'm fond of haggling for better prices, even if the merchant I'm buying from never offered to.
5	I'm not incredibly book-smart and learn better from doing rather than reading about it.
6	Occasionally, the stress of adventuring gets a little much, and I adopt bizarre or dark humour to deal with it.
7	I am often below the notice of grander folks, and prefer to listen than to talk; you never know what juicy gossip someone might let slip.
8	I am a never-ending source of optimism and motivation, seeing this adventure as the most amazing thing that anyone's ever done.

d6	Ideal
1	Equality. I treat everyone as an equal until proven otherwise; we're all people after all. (neutral)
2	Helpfulness. The local law enforcement knows what's best for us, and if I can give them a hand, I will! (lawful)
3	Friendliness. There's no greater goal in life than to give someone else a boost. (good)
4	Wealth. Money's a wonderful motivator, both for me and others. (chaotic)
5	Aspiration. I was meant for so much more than the pitiful folk I've been made to live with. (evil)
6	Adventure. I'm here for the fun of it; show me a fun time, and I'm there! (any)

d6	Bond
1	I have a family waiting for me to return from this adventure.
2	I keep a detailed journal of my journey and losing it would be demotivating, to say the least.
3	I owe a few people in my hometown some debts--monetary or otherwise.
4	Without my roots, what am I? I'd do anything to protect what I call home.
5	My hometown was known for a specific trade, and I'm fairly knowledgeable in the subject.
6	I owe my adventure to someone who recommended me specifically for it.

d6	Flaw
1	Setting off on this adventure was an awful idea! I want to go home already!
2	I'm terribly forgetful or scatterbrained.
3	As a sheltered individual, I have a lot of preconceptions about other races that might not be as accurate as I realise.
4	Rank means little to me. Unless you've ploughed the fields or tended a bar, I've very little respect for a shiny badge that puts you above me.
5	Living as I have, I've fallen prey to some of the vices of the place where I live.
6	I can be very dependent on more capable people around me, and that sometimes blinds me to their motivations past helping me out.
