For some significant portion of your life, you have been someone else's property. This part of your life happened either by abduction, as punishment for a crime, sworn to a debt of life, or you were born into it. You were enslaved to fight for sport, but were able to escape from your captors through ingenuity, strength, or sheer force of will. You are forever changed by your experiences.
- Skill Proficiencies: You mastered the use of thieves' tools in secret - at least enough to escape your shackles.
- Tool Proficiencies: You know how to use a type of artisan's tools from your former life.
- Languages: You have picked up the language of your captors (if different from your own).
Feature: Traumatic Past
Those who look into your eyes can see that you have faced unimaginable trauma and that you are no stranger to hardship. Though they might fear you, commoners will extend you every courtesy and do their utmost to help you. Unless you have shown yourself to be a danger to them, they will even take up arms to fight alongside you, should you find yourself facing an enemy alone.
Suggested Characteristics
Escaped gladitorial slaves are tough and sneaky. They are haunted by their actions when enslaved. They tend to be distrustful of others at first despite being highly empathetic.
