Heart of Stone

Stone Wielders are men and women who embrace the earth and more so the Stones, Rocks, and Boulders that can be found among soil. These people have a kinship with the stone. This link is so strong that many claim that stone is their spirit animal.

A Stone Wielder can be the big man working in the mines or the small woman in the sun dress digging in her garden and everything between.

Was it something that they discovered later in life. Was it part of their job or studies? Do they look fondly at at this kinship with stone? Do they speak openly about this kinship or are they guarded about their feelings?

What made them start adventuring? Did they decide to do this for the next thrill? Was is by pure chance you were in the wrong place at the right time? Are you looking for something existential or personal? All these questions are lead to better understanding your character and their motivations.
