Personality Traits (d8)

1	I believe that all things are sacred.
2	No one can me make me do anything. I'm my own person.
3	I find it sad that most people are so weighed down by the material that they neglect the spiritual.
4	I like my personal space and become violent when it is violated.
5	I like to tinker with things, even if it is dangerous. Or life-risking.

8	I believe that arcane magic is a corrupting influence in society and needs to be limited or destroyed.

2	Harbinger. I am Nature's Wrath. I shall bring Her judgment to all who have harmed her. (Lawful)
3	Knowledge. It is time I returned and judged for myself which is better, Nature or Civilization. (Any)
4	Ascension. The less comfort we experience, the closer we are to the gods. (Neutral)
5	The Rule of Beasts. Out in the wilds, I have seen the order of things. The strong survive, the weak perish. (Evil)

3	I have found my God in the wilds, and I will carry out its will.
4	I feel a kinship with those who are lonely.
