You come from unremarkable stock, and long for the adventure that might be found in the wider world.  You are curious about everything.  Your tiny little village was wonderful, safe and quaint, and impossibly boring and small.

You are were a farmer's son, and once your siblings were old enough to take your place behind the plow, you collected their blessing and tearful fond fair-wells, and a small amount of starting gear and money and set off to visit (friend / relative) in the city of (wherever)

During your going away party that was attended by nearly every person in your town, your former (teacher or part time employer) named (someone) surprised you with a (something of value for your class, up to 100 G.P. in value)

You leave behind more than just a home town and family and friends.  Your childhood sweetheart is the only real heartbreak you feel looking back seeing (the person's) sad tear filled face.

You also have a small game leg-hold trap, ideal for squirrels and rabbits, and know how to make snares and dead fall animal traps. You have 40' of fine wire for trap making purposes.

Aside from your other items you have two sizable flints, a good knife (dagger equivalent), and a whetstone.

Your mother and or sisters packed you a blanket, and 3 days standard and two days hardtack rations.  You have one small water skin (1/2 standard size), and one full sized on typically with the horse.

Suggested Characteristics

As a Wide-eyed Wanderer is one of the common people, for better or for worse. Yet you long for education, exposure and experience.  You are not above putting on airs, even you ever learn what airs are. 

However your eagerness to learn and experiences, along with your innocence has the potential to put you into harms way, and you may not immediately recognize the dangers of the wider world.

Your skill with animals and comfort in wild settings are an advantage on the road.
