You are not from this world, but you are familiar with it, after all, you and your friends have spent countless hours playing it. Somehow you have been pulled from your home world into the world of Dungeons and Dragons. Because you belong to a world that is not their own, the people of this world refer to you as a Beyonder, and apparently, this has happened before.
(Some of this was inspired by Helmlord5792’s “Reluctant Multiverse Traveler”)
When you were pulled into this world you glimpsed knowledge of the future, past or present that you do not understand. Occasionally this knowledge will appear in dreams as a blurry or, if you’re lucky, vivid vision. The DM may give you a vision in any circumstance where you are unconscious. This vision may be knowledge of a near or distant future or enlightenment on a current mystery. Additionally you gain a minor madness from the list below.
Minor Madness
1. You tend to space out, staring at something only you can see.
2. When not focusing on it, you gain a twitch in your hands or you vigorously tap your foot.
3. You mutter underneath your breath every now and then, and when asked about it, you do not know what you were saying.
4. You feel as if someone is always watching you.
Suggested Characteristics
Belonging to another world, you and your personality may seem odd to many, but not to you.
| d8 | Personality Trait |
|---|---|
| 1 | I am constantly confused by this world's natural laws and culture. At this point, I am just so tired of it. |
| 2 | On the world where I came from, I had a great life. Fear and stress are hard for me to handle. |
| 3 | I am greatly curious about how this new world works. I will not miss an opportunity to ask a question. |
| 4 | I spent hours studying this world before playing the game with friends. I’m somewhat of an expert on this world. |
| 5 | I tend to slip out of the language I am speaking in and into my native language whenever I am excited. |
| 6 | I don't understand the idea of racism. On my world everyone was treated equally. |

| d6 | Ideal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Logic. I know that everything can be explained scientifically. Even the most illogical occurrences can be rationalized with enough time and research. (Lawful) |
| 2 | Fate. I know I was sent here for a reason. I am meant to help this world and save it from some threat. (Good) |
| 3 | Entropy. I have seen it, everything will end eventually. Everything I do will mean nothing in the end. (Chaotic) |
| 4 | Opportunity. Due to my... situation, I am in the perfect position to start a new life in this world. A life where I have control, where I have power. (Evil) |
| 5 | Luck. It is through luck that I have survived this long but it is also through luck that I am in this mess to begin with. Whether good or bad, luck is the one constant in the multiverse. (Neutral) |
| 6 | Survival. I am in a strange, dangerous place, so the only thing I can focus on is my own survival. (Neutral) |
| d6 | Bond |
|---|---|
| 1 | I will always look for a way home, I have friends and family waiting for me there. |
| 2 | When I was thrown into this new world, someone close to me was taken with me. I must find them and make sure they are ok. |
| 3 | I was discriminated against on my homeworld, and I will not let others suffer the way I did. |
| 4 | I have made a new life in this world, but someone or something that followed me from my world now threatens it. |
| 5 | I used to read books of high adventure, instilling in me a craving for action. If there is a quest to be done, I will run headlong into it. |
| 6 | I am happy in this new world, but something is trying to take me back. Whether it be beings of this world, beings of my old world, or a natural force of the multiverse, I will not let them take me back. |
