MULTICULTURAL
Before becoming an explorer or pirate, you have sought out a life among various cultures and races around the world. This may have led you to a location full of denizens of an entirely different race or culture. The folk of this place accepted you as one of their own and taught you their ways of life, enough for you to have a basic understanding of their culture, traditions, and beliefs.
Choose a race whose culture you've adopted, or roll on the Adopted Culture table.

FEATURE: CULTURAL CHAMELEON
You can begin to understand the traditions, dialects, and habits of any culture you spend enough time in. You must observe the creatures interacting with one another for at least 1 day, after which you learn a handful of important words, expressions, and gestures - enough to allow you to fit in with them on a basic level if the location isn't already hostile toward you.
SUGGESTED CHARACTERISTICS
Anthropologists thrive in other parts of the world that are far different from the ones they were born into. They love to study and explore new cultures and beliefs developed by other races and civilizations. Many anthropologists find these new locations to satisfy their intellectual curiosity or simply develop a newfound respect for different ideas. Some may seek out fame and fortune, while others do it for more humbling reasons.
