In the years gone by your clan, family or similar were outcast or banished from their place of origin for something terrible. Now you personally have faced a similar banishment from your place of birth. You are no longer welcomed in the places you called home, and the allies you may once had, now turn their backs on you, even to a point where some will attack at the mere sight of you person.
You may not necessarily have done anything bad, just something that others didn't agree to. Now you find your self wandering with only the aims and goals you set yourself. You've spent a lot of time hiding in the shadows and alone, with a minor fear of being recognised. Whether you made your own dwelling in ine place or become nomadic by nature, your skills have metamorphed over time into something that differs from your origin.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose 2 from Stealth, Survival, Nature, and Athletics.
- Tool Proficiencies: You have become competent with 1 type of tool set.
- Languages: You have listened in alleyways or cavernous hideouts and picked up 1 extra language of your choice.
- Equipment: In your quest to survive you have become accustomed to one main weapon. You carry 2 of that weapon.
You are very cautious. No matter what the area you are always checking for another route, a way out, the safest place to sit or the corner with the best view. You can see all the (unhidden) exits in case there is a need to leave hurriedly. Because of this you cannot be caught by surprise in a room smaller than 30 feet by 30 feet with 3 or more exits(Windows, doors, visible tunnels or holes that allow you to fit etc).
Suggested Characteristics
As an exile you tend to be less patient with others, and are only used to your own decisions, so taking someone else's ideas is hard to swallow at the best of times and you may have a tendancy to talk to yourself, or an inanimate object, even when others are around because their conversation just doesn't work well for you.
You can seem quite evil at first glances, but usually your snappy attitude can get results, and you generally always follow through with what you say, even if the thought behind the plan was not fully structured.
| d6 | Personality Trait |
|---|---|
| 1 | I stay quiet until directly spoken to, you might not know I'm even there, but I don't care. |
| 2 | I sleep with weapons in my grasp... both hands. |
| 3 | I talk to inanimate objects, or I consider one to be a friend. |
| 4 | When I eat it's like a massacre. No utensils, and all mess. |
| 5 | I like to whistle, hum, or sing to myself and I'm not very good at any of them. |
| 6 | I am clear and concise and keep it simple when I give instruction. Always to the point. |
| d6 | Ideal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Spite. I hold Grudges, and I hold them for a long time |
| 2 | Choices. Now that I am allowed them, I believe everyone should have free choice. |
| 3 | Necessity. I don't hoard coins. I save only enough to get what I desire, other wise it's just shaped metal that can be fought over amongst fools. |
| 4 | Dominance. I want to be in charge, the will and thoughts of others are beneath me. (Evil) |
| 5 | One and Only. I serve me, my group serves me. I'll complete their goals if I get what I need. |

| d6 | Bond |
|---|---|
| 1 | I won't be without my favourite Trinket, which I regard as a friend. |
| 2 | I won't rest until I get back to my place of banishment, bringing with me what I have learned to kill them all. |
| 3 | After my exile I met a family who took me in. They were stolen by traffickers and I spend my spare time searching for them. |
| 4 | I try to hide the fact that I'm an exile, I cover any brands, tattoos, or any other dead giveaway I may have. I don't talk openly about my banishment. |
| 5 | I am the final one of a group who were exiled a the same time. We were like family, but we were separated somehow and now I try to find them again. |
| 6 | After exile I spent time with the local Fauna. I will do anything to save an animal. Even put my life on the line. |
| d6 | Flaw |
|---|---|
| 1 | I ask a question, and then answer it myself because it was never intended for anyone else. |
| 2 | I like the dark, and I put torches, lights and fires out as soon as I can without asking any one around me. |
| 3 | I just want to look inside things to see how they work. It doesn't matter if it's metal or flesh, construct or natural growth, I need to know why and how. |
| 4 | I will tell everyone what I think. If they look funny, or sound silly. I guess I'm mildly racist... with so many races to choose from. |
| 5 | I get distracted easily by technologies that I have never seen, as I have spent so long in exile away from civilisation. |
| 6 | I find everyone irritating. I think maybe I was better off on my own. I will sarcastically state that at every opportunity. |
