To take this background you must be chaotic-aligned, it is not suggested that you play a good-aligned character with this background as it's much more suited for chaotic neutral and chaotic evil
A paragon of power, respected by all, feared by some, you are a force of chaos, slayer of Tyrants and Kings alike, it is your goal at most times to simply abolish the government, leaving the world to regress to a dog it dog society where it the strong survive, and the weak live huddled in fear for their very lives. Regardless of this dream, you continue to live out your life as a mercenary, a hired sword often on the side of whichever party is most prone to be destroyed, or to be indoctrinator into your ideology of Anarchy. But for now, you must keep your plans dark and impenetrable as the night, but when you do move, you shall fall like a thunderbolt.
- Skill Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in two of the following skills:
History, Arcana, Acrobatics, Athletics, Intimidation, Deception, Survival, and Insight
- Languages: You know 2 extra languages
- Equipment: You start with one book, either a manifesto or a guide on war tactics
Your undying hunger for chaos fuels you to push yourself to your very limits, the Grim Reaper is but a man, and you've never met a man you couldn't beat. Whenever you succeed a death saving throw after having failed 2, you stabilize to 0 hp and then gain 1d6 hit points for every two levels you have (rounding down) and regain a point in your class resource (Like action surge, sorcery points, or lay on hands) or regain a first level spell slot.
Suggested Characteristics
Personality Traits:
- I shroud myself in a veil of mystery, giving off the appearance of a wandering hero type.
- I refuse to be a cog in the machine, mine is the aim to not only break the machine, but to obliterate it so absolutely that none of its parts will be salvageable
- I often find myself taunting my foes mid-battle, as the more enraged they are, the more fun they will be to cut down
Ideals:
- The strong shall survive, the weak will perish, such is the natural order of things.
- The only universal language is violence, and I happen to be fluent in it.
Bonds:
- As far as I'm concerned, regardless of outside factors, I am myself a separate party from any involved, and thus, I have the right to make my own decisions independent of the choices of my employer.
- Those who have proven themselves in battle are the few I choose to call my compatriots, even fewer are those I call my friends.
- While my strength may be enough to take down entire armies, it never hurts to have a helping hand.
Flaws:
- I believe myself to be immortal, I never die, nor will I for the rest of time.
- I crack easily when vastly outnumbered, making me incredibly susceptible to peer pressure.
- My social skills are more than lacking

Posted Oct 8, 2021After coming back to this I realize now that this background is actually more lawful than it is chaotic, it is a devotion to chaos, and thus is my design a lawful ideology
