[QUOTE="OlegRu, post: 7607977, member: 6995253"] Yes - I wrote my own custom background :) [B]Background: Assimilated Outlander[/B] You spent an early part of your life growing up in a rugged land, with wilderness all around, where survival depends on a balance of courage, being able to rely on your fellow man/tribe, and familiarity with the ways of the wild. However, you later migrated to a safer, more stable region, where you assimilated to civilization and an easier life, causing you to become somewhat complacent and stuck in a comfort zone. Your past and present life cause contradicting instincts in you: the first makes you thirst for adventure and to develop yourself, while the second makes you gravitate to safer, more comfortable conditions and be wary of the unknown. The outlander in you pushes you to act naturally and put importance in ties with close people and the natural world, while the assimilated part helps you be well-mannered, blend in in civilization, and be more careful. [B]Skill Proficiencies: [/B]Survival, Perception [B]Tool Proficiencies:[/B] Choose one - Disguise Kit, Cartographer’s Tools, Land Vehicles, Woodcarver’s Tools [B]Languages:[/B] Giant or another common monster [B]Equipment:[/B] Traveler's clothes, Hunting trap, Fishing tackle, Bedroll, Tent, Belt pouch, Paper, Ink, Waterskin, Signal whistle, Rope, Tinderbox. [B]Feature:[/B] [I][B]Guide[/B][/I] – You have travelled and led others through a variety of routes many times, giving you an excellent memory for maps and geography, allowing you to recall the general layout of terrain, settlements, and other features around you. In addition, a safe journey is important in your profession – you remain cautious even when travelling quickly, being keenly perceptive to potential dangers on your way. [/QUOTE]
