Limited access: Non Human: Fey Guardian
This background is limited to the British Isles at this point. Mainly Britain and Ireland, but the smaller islands may have a few Guardians as well.
A Fey Guardian is a Folk Hero with a twist: Instead of being a local that stood up when the village needed it, it's a fey that lives nearby and has adopted the village and guards it anonymously.
I started with a Folk Hero, removed all village specific items, and added in some Outlander choices to represent a being living on it's own in the wild for whatever reason.
This background may be taken by any Firbolg, Sidhe, or Leprechaun, and a Land druid with Hermit tendencies.
Feature: As Outlander
Skills: Animal Handling, Survival, two related artisan tools (related to each other or Survival Syngeries)
Gear: As Folk Hero, but traveler's clothing
Background picks: a mix of Folk Hero and Outlander
Supplemental tool proficiencies:
Using the system from Xanathars, and the Survival and Animal Handling from above:
-Cooking Aids Survival in producing more foragable foodstuff.
-Woodcarving keeps one in clubs, staves, bows, and arrows.
Paired professions (if one is your artisan tool choice, the other is supplemental to it):
-Leather Working and Cobbling are related.
-Brewer and Cook are related (mostly a Leprechaun choice)
-Calligrapher and Cartographer are related. This is mostly an elven choice.
