By accident, artifice, or nature you have what some mortals have spent lives to attain: immortality (or, perhaps, such long life that outstretches any mortal race). You have lived for more than twice the time normally allotted, and you have your measure of memories and scars to show for it. You've been to strange places and seen things that others cannot begin to fathom. After so many years, your initial origins are much less important than the lessons and experiences you have gained in the world.

Suggested Characteristics

Ancients are so long lived in the world that they tend to carry more than the usual amount of happiness, sorrow, loss, and jubilation. They are wise in the ways of the world, but are wary of change.

d8	Personality Trait
1	I draw away from the world not because I am ignorant of what it might hold, but because I know it too well.
2	I am wary of becoming attached to mortals because I know that long after they pass on I will still be here.
3	I am in a constant search for something, anything, that can guide my exceedingly long life.
4	I quickly pick up on local accents and begin imitating them almost immediately.

6	Like an onion, I have layers. I’m not just some simple beast.
