Ever since your birth, you've been followed by some other-worldy entity. It has constantly followed and affected your life, pushing away everyone you've tried to befriend or care about. You've done constant research to this phenomena, pouring over arcane texts and history books to see if people have had the same issue. To no avail, you now spend your waking moments adventuring the world in search for answers, with this presence always watching, affecting your life in major or minor ways.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from among Arcana, Investigation, Perception, or Survival
- Languages: Choose two, one of which must be Abyssal, Celestial, Deep Speech, Draconic, Infernal, Primordial, Sylvan, or Undercommon
- Equipment: A money pouch and backpack from your inheritance, containing a large sum. Several daggers, and a cloak.
