You were someone of importance once. A being of repute or some renown that was willing to step on any and all to accomplish their goals. At some point you watched it all go sideways, and with it, so did a handful of relationships you had built. One of these people feels especially wronged, and has taken out a contract on your life. You are aware of the contract, but you certainly don't know who payed to have you killed. Suspicion now follows you as you've traveled far to find protection with a new group of companions.
- Skill Proficiencies: You're constant wariness has made you much more perceptive over your time on the run. You are proficient in Perception and one other skill of your choice.
- Tool Proficiencies: Disguises have become an all too familiar respite. You are proficient with a Disguise Kit.
- Languages: Your travels have taken you to strange places to avoid danger. In your travels you've learned to speak 1 language of your choice.
- Equipment: You've donned the heaviest armor you are proficient with, though your travels alone haven't allowed for much opportunity to upgrade what you're wearing.
Feature: Dodgy

You are also keenly aware of any dangers within secret passages, as you know traversing them comes with risk more times than not. You gain advantage on perception rolls to locate traps and on any roll to disarm the trap as long as it is in a secret passage.
