I am not opposed to ever having a character with no roots. I just find them contirved, harder to GM for, and not as interesting. As you said above, D'Artagnan actually has at least one connection. I think that you might also be overlooking the fact that he has a connection to the Musketeers. He wants to be one. I may be wrong, as I have not read The Three Musketeers since I was 9 (for those curious, that was 24 years ago), but the character D'Artagnan is definitely entrenched in the situation from the beginning. He is not completely rootless. I cannot speak to the other characters from other stories that you cite.You also ignore that there are 4 main characters in The Three Musketeers, and even if you ignore the 2 connections that I suggest for D'Artagnan, he is only 25% of the protagonists. The rest have significantly more connections. D'Artagnan is kinda the exception.</blockquote>
