Your life before adventure was marked by its mundanity. Under the supervision of your higher ups, you have helped keep shops running, taverns full or farms working.

You know how shops are run and helped, can get on common terms with others in your previous trade, and up to this point have experienced, with joy or regret, the new active life of adventuring.

Tool Proficiencies: None

Languages: Two of your choice

Equipment: A keepsake from your previous career, a set of assistant's clothes, a small book with common phrases in Common, Elvish, Dwarvish, Gnomish and Undercommon, a pouch containing 15 gp.
