The first thing you remember seeing is darkness, the first thing you heard is a light breeze whistling past you. In this space of nothing you floated for an amount of time unknown to you, and then, without warning you felt a force behind you, pushing you towards a small light you can see in the distance. This light begins to surround your being, blinding you for but a moment before you are thrown from the darkness onto the ground. For the first time you find footing on something solid, feel gravity pull on your physical form. Where are you? Where were you before? Why are you here now? You may discover the truth of your existence in time but for now, start by trying to stay alive.
You have ZERO knowledge of society and how it works in anyway, and will have to rely on others to teach you basic social etiquette and behavior (if you choose to learn and adapt it). Work with your DM to create and expand on your characters true past. Where are they from? How did they end up in the void? Who or what put them there and why have they been pulled from it now? Who/what pulled them from it? Perhaps your character doesn't have a past at all, maybe they were created by powerful entity in order to take on a task. What happens when they complete that task? Does the thing that brought you to your plane of existence tell you why your here?
Your complete lack of interaction with the planes of existence leaves you with a look of constant surprise, however subtle. Commoners will extend their help to aid you in learning anything you wish if you ask them, such as directing you to people of interest or places of knowledge if the information is unknown to them.
