The person you were is very different from the person you are today. This could mean your personality has change (for the good or the bad) or maybe your physical appearance has changed. Maybe you died as one race and came back as another. Whatever change, you are no longer (or trying to no longer be) that person. You can choose to hide your previous life or not. But now, your past no longer matters, only who you are today.

Most of your fellow adventurers and the world know you as your new person. Those who seek to learn more about you—your weakness, your origins, your purpose—find themselves stymied by this new personality. Whether you choose to hide your past life is up to you but the lack of backstory of the new life creates a natural mystery around you. This dueling of personalities creates benefits and problems. Although you have changed, you still struggle to leave the tendencies of your old life. You often find yourself falling upon these tendencies but try your best not to.
Suggested Characteristics
Although you are changed, you still have the memories from your old life. You can use these memories to help the present day. But there is a downside to this: your old personality bleeds into your new. Your past tendencies still affect you and your new life. You sometimes act "out of character" and make actions that do not fit your new personality. But you are changed and are actively trying to live up to your new personality.
