[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 7811900, member: 467"] I don't know if Steve Irwin was a WItcher, but he was certainly an adventurer. He went out into the world to explore and discover and gain himself some fame and fortune. My definition of "adventurer" doesn't mean you can't have additional goals, noble or otherwise, just that your primary driving motivation to go into the wilderness/dungeon/whatever is based on a personal desire for fortune, glory, excitement and/or experiences. So a given Witcher might be an adventurer by that definition (and being a Witcher affords them those opportunities) while another may be is better termed a "crusader" in that their primary motivation is duty as an example. This doesn't mean that crusader doesn't go on adventures, it means their vocation is to crusade against monsters. A good illustration might be the difference between The Challengers of the Unknown as adventurers, versus The Blackhawks, as agents of the military. Both teams have adventures, but the driving force behind those adventures are notably different. Of course, within those teams, individual characters have their own motivations, but now we are slicing it a little thin for the purposes of this discussion. [/QUOTE]
