Many of your ~ancestor~ ancestors needed to feel grounded and in touch with the earth and practical endeavors. Their most common line of work may have included farming, building, and clergy. However, there were probably quite a few warriors who chose their dangerous profession voluntarily, as this was the way they felt most alive and connected to the physical plane. Interestingly, those who did would have often been dreamers and romantics who fancied themselves servants of God or country (and as such felt justified in wreaking havoc on those who believed differently).
