[QUOTE="Shadowdweller00, post: 7403464, member: 6778479"] Some random ideas: * A tribal shaman (possible motifs - native-American or African tribal themes possible, for example) seeking to address some problem with larger nations / civilizations on behalf of tribe. Possible goals - spy on larger civilization, try to prevent cultural shifts that threaten the tribe, preserve tribe's food or other resource, promote awareness + recognition of tribe by performing heroic acts, keep some spiritually significant being or area from being damaged, recover relics sacred or important to tribe, prevent supernatural wrongdoing only tribe is aware of. * An animist priest, seeking to keep memory / adherence to bargains made with local spirits alive amongst populations that have forgotten them. * Wandering alchemist / naturalist seeking to study rare herbs or just catalogue supernatural places and things found across the land (e.g. Charles Darwin on the HMS Beagle). Spells + abilities might be potions brewed with local ingredients. * Character actually is a fae spirit (changeling) that replaced a child of host species. Goals likely to be inscrutable or secret to most others - and may ultimately be benign or malevolent. Might have weird compulsions or commandments that don't make sense by human standards - such as maybe trying to destroy all purple garments on a particular continent. [/QUOTE]
