Apothecary

You are an apothecary. You treat the wounded and sick in a small village amid the babbling brooks of the forests and cities. You are no doctor, nay, dare say not even an alchemist. But what you lack in prowess and magical talent, you take in ten-fold for the wisdom you possess with various animals and plants. While not outright pacifists, those who hold the profession stray away from immediate conflict, using their words to sway those that might prove difficult.

Creating an Apothecary

When choosing to be an Apothecary, what made your character choose this path? Were you once saved by an adventuring Apothecary inches away from death? Did you live in a small village out in the deepest parts of the forest, and as you grew so did few villagers remain? Were you a young noble in a corrupt and unjust family, drifting away from them and their practices? Do you do this in pursuit of knowledge? or to 'Preserve' the ideals and existence of Apothecaries
