Horizon Hunters

Question about Backgrounds: how do I simulate the person who's looking for a lost friend/relative? He is traveling all over and asking around. I looked through Core 1 & 2 and didn't see anything that seemed to fit.

What did your character do before their relative/friend got lost?

Horizon Hunters

Was prepared by his family/community to Go On The Quest.

Relevant backgrounds, if you please?

The character was trained to go find Alice before Alice got lost? They were trained from birth for the one and only task of going to find Alice?

I guess that's possible. In such a case, I'd reskin Bounty Hunter. You were trained to go find specific people.

But the point of my question was: backgrounds are what you did before you do what you do now. So the OP could think about what their character did before Alice got lost and it was necessary for them to set out on a quest to find her, and any such pre-quest lifestyle would make a good background. The background of Samwise Gamgee isn't ring-bearer companion, it's gardener. The background of Taran isn't anything heroic or questy, it's assistant pig-keeper.

    Thank you Pixel Popper, you have been very helpfull.

    Apparently I missed Merchant, of the travelling sort, as well. I guess you would call that 'Peddler' as a sub-set.
