You were created artificially using a vessel, the wishes of a mortal and the magic of an extraplanar benefactor. Whether this benefactor was a Celestial, a Fiend, a Fae or something similar is up to circumstance. Regardless, because of the powerful magic of a blessing or contract, you are now fully alive. It is now up to you to decide what you will do with your life, as you have been granted one.

Note: This background is loosely based off of the "Alchemic Construct" Background. Its main purpose is to add interest and diversity to roleplay, and also serve as a beneficial background for spellcasting classes such as the wizard, warlock and sorcerer classes.

Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from Arcana, History, Insight, Investigation, Medicine, Nature or Perception. If you feel like other skills would fit your character's backstory better, and the GM allows, other skills may be added into this selection.

Tool Proficiencies: Choose one from Alchemist's Supplies, Brewer's Supplies, Calligrapher's Supplies, Cartographer's tools, Poisoner's Kit, Disguise Kit, Forgery Kit, any Gaming set or any musical instrument, or choose none for an additional language.

Languages: Choose any language, including exotic languages, preferably from your benefactor. If you chose no tool proficiency, choose a second language as well.

Equipment: Some documentation of your creation (could be a journal, drawing or even a magical object), simple robes, a marking of some sort of significance on your body, such as a tattoo or birthmark, some sort of artifact from your birthplace, such as a seashell, crystal or brooch, and a small sack carrying 5gp.

Suggested Characteristics

Depending on your relationship with your mortal creator, your relationship with your extraplanar benefactor, and your relationship with the world around you, your personality as an artificial being may vary a great deal. If you were raised well, you may very well be just like any other person; in contrast, if scorned, you may be vengeful, misfit or even traumatized.
