Hey, I came up with the peasant farmer idea myself, like 10 years ago.

My character was this: A 36 year old blond guy, he farms watermelons and sells them at the village square. He is married with two kids but has a very selfish and idiotic personality. Leaves his family behind to "make his own destiny". Always says pseudo-inspirational shit. He is a rogue but extremely clumsy and often has trouble with how he carries himself, he is the opposite of smooth.

I think everyone tries fielding a commoner or "normal" person at least once.

My version was a nobleman's son that just "wanted to try this adventuring thing out." He wound up bankrolling the entire campaign, right up until he died in the second encounter.
