You may be the idle younger child of a noble house with nothing better to do than always carry a gauntlet in your belt for the express purposes of being thrown down. Little fortune and less responsibility rest upon your shoulders, but you have an education and know how best to take offense. You may be a professional fencer, who earns their wages by putting on a show as you puts down your challenger. You may be a ruffian inciting the wealthy to single combat, then robbing their corpses. You may be a simple person, who challenges wrongdoers to combat in an effort to bring justice where the courts cannot... or will not. Regardless, you have spent much time in taverns or inns, your profession is as much social as physical.
