Your parents are...different (cursed bloodlines, strange appearance, mystical powers, etc). They met through their trials and tribulations and wish to give their children the most normal life they possibly can. With no other options, they meet a hag and strike a deal; there is, however, a catch. The catch is one of their children will not be normal and will not only take after their parents, but they will be imbued with mysterious magic, thus making them a Hexblood. This child is you, and while your siblings are normal, you are not. You discover your powers the day you turn twelve, and from those powers grows a desire to find the hag who gave them to you.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two among
- Languages: Choose two, one of which must be Abyssal, Celestial, Deep Speech, Draconic, Infernal, Primordial, Sylvan, or Undercommon.
Because of your curse, you develop changes in your appearance, not dissimilar to a hag. You also develop hag-like traits:
Darkvision.
You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You discern colors in that darkness as shades of gray.
Eerie Token.
As a bonus action, you can harmlessly remove a lock of your hair, one of your nails, or one of your teeth. This token is imbued with magic until you finish a long rest. While the token is imbued in this way, you can take these actions:
Telepathic Message.
As an action, you can send a telepathic message to the creature holding or carrying the token, as long as you are within 10 miles of it. The message can contain up to twenty-five words. Remote Viewing. If you are within 10 miles of the token, you can enter a trance as an action. The trance lasts for 1 minute, but it ends early if you dismiss it (no action required) or are incapacitated. During this trance, you can see and hear from the token as if you were located where it is. While you are using your senses at the token's location, you are blinded and deafened in regard to your own surroundings. When the trance ends, the token is harmlessly destroyed. Once you create a token using this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, at which point your missing part regrows.
Suggested Characteristics
You may be slow to trust, not knowing who (or what) may be after you, hunting you. You could be insatiably curious, wondering who cursed you and why. You may even be power hungry, eager to refine your abilities and become more powerful than the hag that cursed you. Whatever your drive, you are, above all else, curious of your curse's origins.
