For whatever reason, your parents have abandoned you to survive on your own. Maybe it's because of your kind. You're an embarrassment, or you put the family at risk. You've traveled the streets for most of your life, staying out of sight as much as possible. You had no one to watch over you or to provide for you, so you learned to provide for yourself. You fought fiercely over food and kept a constant watch out for other desperate souls who might steal from you. You’ve survived despite all odds, and did so through cunning, strength, speed, or some combination of each.

Skill Proficiencies: You are proficient in Survival and Perception.

Tool Proficiencies: Choose one: disguise kit, thieves' tools, or, navigator's tools.

Equipment: a set of traveler's clothes, a spear, a torch, and a pouch containing 10 gp.

Suggested Characteristics

As a shunned orphan, you aren't very familiar with societal rules. You may come off as shady or rude. The only thing you know is that you aren't welcome where you came from, and you aren't sure what to do with that information.
