As a forgotten one you grew up alone and learned how to evade the authorities and the criminals in the slums. You learned to “sweet talk” your way out of almost every encounter and learned how to read people. Reading them allowed you to tell them what they wanted to hear and that usually got you off the hook. The best part however was that they rarely remembered you after the encounter allowing you to live a life of relative peace... for living in the slums...

You begin your adventuring career with enough money to live modestly but securely for at least ten days.

Skill Proficiencies: Persuasion, Stealth

Tool Proficiencies: Disguise kit
