Kuo-Toa Manifestation Image

You were worshiped to life by a relatively small Kuo-toa tribe. You are a minor God but still at the top of their social hierarchy. You have responsibilities towards them and even a domain, even though you are effectively powerless, mortal, and quite week at birth. Your budding power and/or the expectations of your tribe push you to go explore the world in order to become more powerful.

 
Skill Proficiencies: Religion, and one appropriate to your domains (Arcana for the Arcana domain for example).
Tool Proficiencies: One type of artisan’s tools appropriate to your domains.
Languages: Undercommon
Equipment: A set of artisan’s tools you are proficient with, a holy symbol depicting your personal icon (can be used as a spell casting focus for), a set of traveler's clothes, an item related to yourself (like a writing kit for knowledge domain) and a pouch containing 20 gp
 
Divine Domain

When the Kuo-toa manifested you it was through their beliefs as a god, therefore you have domains. You don't actually have any influence on your domains as you are a you minor mortal god created by a relatively small tribe, but the power of the priests that worship you comes from their beliefs in you rather than you.
Choose or randomly determine one or more of the following domains or come up with your own. These domains also influences your alignment to some extent but you can go against your nature, your DM chooses what effect such an action has on you or your relationship to the Kuo-toa that worship you.

You also get a cantrip that is linked to one of your domain. Choose it with your DM.
