Wastrel, underachiever, drunkard, libertine, scofflaw. It's hard to tell exactly where the romantic qualities of Rootabega's ancestry go wrong in him. He claims he is the result of a lifetime of dedication to the elven ideal. This is not a commonly held opinion.
A Druid by default: although inclination and temperament suggest otherwise, Mother Nature appears to have a plan for this 'hero'. Of formal training, Rootabega has little. Despite his natural talents, he was forcibly ejected from the Druidic Circle when it became common knowledge he had cooked and eaten his totem animal when it appeared to him during a week of fasting and cleansing in the Sacred Grove.
Unmoved and uncaring, Rootabega keeps to himself in the wilderness, and ventures into town to work as a gardener in order to purchase his much-loved mead...ale...beer.
To date he has managed to ignore any impulse towards self-improvement, but this offer of tax free earnings is just to good to ignore!
