Adventurer (4e Theme)

By Quidamus [1]

Adventurer

You are an Adventurer by nature, taking the world and experiencing life to it's fullest. You take big risks, but are willing to risk your life for the sake of adventure, and for moral and empathetic reasons, being driven by your desire to help others and your ambition to change the world. You want as much to take part of the wonderful things happening as you want to see them, being more than just a simple tourist but someone who feels destined to be a part of every major event. You are plucky, headstrong and motivated, with your own ambitions and goals, and you like to see justice be done fairly anywhere in the world. You are a natural born fighter, however you are also good at investigating.
