Old Prison
Prior to becoming an adventurer, your path in life was defined by the place you were imprisoned in or the person that imprisoned you. This may come back to bite you at the worst of times, and it's rare for the outcome to be good.

You were a slave that struck down your old master from behind and escaped. Whether you killed them or not, you do not know.

|
|

You were a mental patient in an asylum. But you're all better now. Definitely.

You were charmed by a wicked spellcaster for months, maybe even years. A prisoner of your own mind.
