...What kind of adventurer would you think you'd be?
Me, I'm 4'11, and rather skinny (weighted 90 pounds last I checked which was awhile ago). I'm light on my feet, and cautious and quiet when I walk. I'm flexible too (had a few ballet and gymnastics lessons when I was really little, and had horseback riding and martial arts lessons growing up, only stopping once that I started college, and even then took yoga and tai chi there).
I would say I'd make a good Rogue or Thief... except I'm a very loudspoken person, and that would be terrible for that kinda job.
If I were an adventurer, I would be as underhanded as possible, since I have no real useful adventuring skills in the real world at the moment. I know how to use guns, but not the kind of guns that would prove useful "out there." The most powerful gun I've used is a bolt-action rifle, which would be horribly underpowered if I were faced with a bear, for instance. I do know how to get under people's skin, which would get me killed real quick if I were in a bad spot, and be considerably more effective if I were in a position of power. I'd prefer to break people by talking, rather than resort to physical force. Not that I do much talking in real life anyways. I'm always observing other people, and I choose my words carefully when I do speak. Um...I've used a pocket knife before at least once...? I know how to clean dishes and iron clothes...? Let's face it, I'm not cut out for this kind of thing.
Hmm... I'm pretty softspoken (depending on who I'm talking to) and appear pretty innocent and not very threatening. I could use that to my advantage by keeping suspensions low. Other than that I'm not very physically adept or quick on my feet, but I am pretty creative and resourceful. As far as self defense goes, though, I've got nothing, other than that I would stay out of people's way and make a significant effort to avoid conflict altogether as much as possible. I'm probably not the adventurous type.
As I mentioned before, I'm pretty good at stealth in real life. Though come to think of it, I don't really have much experience with daggers or swords and I'm really not good at archery either. So I'd probably make a decent rogue, but I think I'd be less of a Robin Hood type and more of a Eugene Fitzherbert type. But I would still do my best to help the poor.
Probably engage in some low risk adventuring until I have enough funds to open a store selling adventure equipment. At ine point creating a chainstore empire by buying used magical equipment cheap and marking it up to sell to would be heroes.
