You can list anything that  you think makes you who you are.(Following the  "Skills", rather than trying to use an artificial system like  level or rank I have simply put the number of years I was or have worked at  being a particular thing. This doesn't mean I've done everything on this  list consistently for that number of years, but it does mean that's how long ago  I started doing these things.) I haven't listed everything I've ever done, but  the ones I wanna talk about or list.  My Skills Background would run like  this: Amateur Archaeologist - 20   Amatuer Cryptologist - 30 Amateur Linguist and Philologist -  32 Amatuer Naturalist and Woodsman - most of my life, and for personal enjoyment mostly Artist - 40 (But  don't really draw or paint that much anymore and haven't for years. I turn out  four or five works a year now cause I'm too busy with other things.   Businessman and  Entrepreneur - 15   Christian - basically most of my  life Detective (Private) -  23   Dog Breeder - 8  (most of my  experiments in breeding have gone very well)  Father - 15  Husband - 17  Inventor and Technologist -  18  Investor –  23    Musical Composer - 8 (Amateur at this point, I taught  myself to play piano, which I've been doing a long time, and taught myself to  compose) Mystic - basically most of my life (Some people say that  in some ways I'm a bit of a Monk, nothing wrong with that, and I seriously  considered it when younger, but actually I'm more of a Mystic than a Monk. But  if my wife pre-deceases me and when I'm too old to be much use as a missionary,  I'll be happy to retire to a Monastery, and die there.)      Poet - 40 years (I started drawing and writing poetry in  3rd grade) Psychologist  25 (I've  practiced some form of psychology, either related to my 2nd degree, or some form  of [anti] criminal psychology and criminology for that period of  time)     Scientist - 35  Teacher - 20    Wargamer and Gamer - 35 Writer - 33  Vadder 36 (Explorer of ruins and sometimes  archaeological sites or digs)      These are the things I intend to do and become and the  skills I intend to acquire before I die (if I have the time):   Venture Capitalist   Priest   Grandfather   Multi-millionaire   Great Author and Writer (fiction, as  opposed to most of my writing career, which has been non-fiction and business)   Great Poet (now I'm actively trying to  get my poetry and song lyrics published)      I also intend to publish some of my Scientific Theories,  Musical Compositions, Artwork, Designs, and hopefully publish a game or  two.     So, who and what are you, and would you be, and if you  want to discuss it in more detail then please feel free to do so.</blockquote>
