You have been risen from beyond the grave, brought back from pure death, but to what purpose and by whom? With no memory of who you were before, you are left alone to discover your reason for existence. Whether that means starting afresh as whoever you want to be, or searching for what/whomever it was that brought you back from death and why, the options of your new life are left entirely up to you. Beware, though. The world can be fraught with danger for you as your mere presence is enough to make the living uncomfortable around you.
You maintain all the stats, perks, benefits, detriments, etc of your race but have the addition of not needing to breathe, and having one hit die removed from their stats.
Due to your nature, those of the living world will often become unsettled in your presence. Anybody rolling higher than a 20 on Insight into you will be able to understand that you are Undead. People tend to be naturally suspicious of you.
Because of your Unsettling Presence, you naturally have advantage on Intimidation checks and disadvantage on Persuasion checks.
You may find that you have easier interactions with those who deal with death often, such as undertakers, temples serving death gods, etc. It will be easier for you to get assistance from these types of people, such as information or temporary housing.
