You don't know who you are. You don't know where you are from or who your creators are. You don't know what your purpose is. You awoke in the woods with no memory of what had happened there, only a trinket, assumedly from your previous life, and the clothes on your back.
Will you choose to chase your memories, using only the trinket that you have to try and find answers that may not be to your liking? Or will you cast aside whatever your past might have been in favor of starting over?
- Skill Proficiencies: Without memory of your past life, your skillset is basic and unspecialized, though wide.
- Tool Proficiencies: One set of tools
- Languages: You are limited to speaking and understanding Common and the language of your creator(s).
- Equipment: You don't have much left, just a token from who you used to be and a set of traveler’s clothes
Regardless of your age, you are born again. You are filled with youthful innocence and whimsy. Everywhere you go, civilized people are more inclined to explain things to you and will treat you with immense kindness and are gentle with you, regardless of how gruff or angry they otherwise are.
Everything in the world is new again and your desire to experience, feel and know everything gives you Advantage on Initiative rolls.
