Adventurer

Adventurer or adventuress, meaning one who takes part in a risky or speculative course of action for profit or position, or one who lives by his wits.

In Victorian morality it implies a person of no moral character, often someone trying to marry for money.

In role-playing games, the player characters are often professional adventurers, who earn wealth and fame by adventure, such as undertaking hazardous missions, exploring ruins, and slaying monsters. This stereotype is strong enough that the adventurers can often be used as a synonym for the player characters. However non-player character groups of adventurers can also exist, and can be an interesting encounter for the players.
