You come from the future, but you don’t have any memory of who you are or why you came to this time, however, you do have an innate knowledge of history and of some modern and future equipment. You must remember why you are here and what you must do, or be stuck in this era for the rest of your life.
- Skill Proficiencies: You are proficient in History. Additionally, you can make an Intelligence check with advantage when determining how alien technology or future equipment work, if you succeed on a roll of 20 on the d20 on your first roll with that specific piece of technology or equipment, you no longer need to make Intelligence checks to use it again.
- Tool Proficiencies: You have proficiency with one vehicle type of your choice from this era.
- Equipment: You arrive in this era with a token (a clue to what your purpose is).
