Tool Proficiencies:

Deception, and one of your choice from Stealth, Survival or Performance.

Languages: One of your choice.
 
Feature: Heartache

From such desperate beginnings, most folk are sympathetic toward you, with many being able to tell at a glance that you've had a rough time. People of a Neutral or Good alignment will be easier to get along with as long as you are following at least their standards of morality. They will protect you from danger if they can, and be willing to provide shelter and simple work to earn a small pay. This only occurs as long as you don't show yourself to be a danger to them, or break laws they follow. They will not risk their life for you on this feature alone.

Variant Runaway: Survivor

Survived a bad situation (add more to it later)

 
Variant Feature: Target

Demons, Angels, everyone wants a piece of your shattered soul. You are often haunted by dreams of both sides trying to convince you that you want to be their friend. Every time you sleep, roll a D20. On a 1, you have a dream about an Evil aligned entity of the DM's choice using whatever tactics the DM wants to affect your character. Maybe it offers power and/or vengeance for a taste of that sweet soul, maybe it wants to give you a nightmare just because it can. On a 20, you have a dream about a Good aligned entity of the DM's choice doing the same thing. If any such deity hasn't the time for you, you might instead be greeted by a powerful follower of them instead.
