A seemingly simple character strong, quick and an
overwhelming force of personality. Not to bright but such is the life of a
peasant. The seemingly simple is the perfect time for deep character
reflection. Where does he get his sense of loyalty from? What kind of
competition did he win? Why has he chosen not to take a patron deity? Does he
even worship the gods at all?
Because it went over well I have kept the harrow reading.
I will work it into my character but if you don’t want to you do not need to. Let’s
see who’s up to the challenge.

grew up working the land around a village or manor, practicing a rudimentary
trade, or begging in a settlement.
Parent's Profession: Serfs/Peasants
Major Childhood Event: [Competition Champion] You distinguished yourself at an early age when
you won a competition. This might have been a martial contest of arms, a
showing of apprentice magicians, high stakes gambling, or something mundane
like an eating championship.
Influential
Associate: [The Wanderer] You knew someone who traveled from place to place
with the changing of the wind, such as a minstrel, convict, merchant, outcast,
soldier, or sailor. This person brought you wondrous mementos and told you of
all the places he had traveled and the people who lived there, inspiring a
wanderlust within you.

[Petty Crime] You committed a minor crime, like vandalism, trespassing, or
mischief.
Conflict Subject:
Clergy.

Romantic Relationship(s): [A Few Significant Relationships] You’ve tried to make deep connections
with individuals on several occasions, but it’s never worked out.
Drawback:
[Loyalty] You value loyalty over all things. You treasure the friends,
associates, and lovers you have earned throughout the years, and when someone
breaks your trust or betrays you in some way, you become utterly unhinged

Harrow Reading
We read the cards in the cross pattern. Card one being where the character came from,
card two an important event in the characters life, card three represents a
talent the character will have , and card four represents where the character
is going. Surrounded by the signifier that represents the character.
Signifier card:
The Unicorn (chaotic good, Charisma) is a card that generously offers that
which the subject seeks, just as the charger in the picture offers up its
fruit.
Card one: The
Owl (neutral, Wisdom) represents the eternal wisdom of the natural order. It is
the harsh realism that causes a pack of wolves to cull the weak in the herd. It
is tragic for the culled deer, but through such actions the herd grows
stronger. The needle The Owl holds binds life together, but just as easily can
pick that life apart.
Card Two: The
Hidden Truth (lawful good, Intelligence) symbolizes the ability to see past the
obvious and the banal to a greater truth within. Sometimes this discovery is an
esoteric one, sometimes it is a literal find, such as an item revealed within a
room. Regardless, it is a card with the power to reveal secrets.
Card Three: The
Sickness (neutral evil, Constitution) represents plague, pestilence, famine,
and disease. It can also indicate corruption of the soul or of a multitude of
souls.
Card Four: The
Wanderer (neutral good, Intelligence) is a collector. This centaur appreciates
that which others regard as junk or trash. The Wanderer appears to those clever
enough to find the true worth in something others ignore or treat as worthless.
