Raised in the small village of Luoy, you've known a quiet and peaceful life. In a few months time, you'll reach the age of 18, and just like the other orphans, will finally be able to leave the walls surrounding your village and see the world. It's an exciting time, as your mind races with the possibilities the world outside the walls has to offer. What will you make of it?

Feature: Creative language
Passed down from those who came before, you and your fellows learned a creative way of speaking with each other. A form of language like pig-latin or cockney with various sounds, you use it when mother is around. This language is compromised of common words, mispronounced draconic and infernal, animal sounds, very low whispers and hand movements. It is incomprehensible to anyone that did not learn it in the orphanage or were taught it seperately. This also trained you to whisper quieter than other children, and communicate with your hands. You have advantage on dexterity (stealth) checks involving your character talking or whispering, and advantage on charisma (performance) checks of throwing your voice or performing an accent/animal noise.
Suggested Characteristics
An orphan of Luoy is a common individual, for the most part. Most orphans of Luoy look on their humble origins as a time to remember, or to forget, and their companions remain very close to them.
