You were a part of apprenticeship that taught you the skills you needed to be the class you are now. This apprenticeship may have been thrusted upon you at a young age or perhaps you sought it out later in life.

Skill Proficiencies: Pick two from you class.

Tool Proficiencies: Your choice of a gaming set or a musical instrument

Languages: Any one of your choice

Equipment: An item from your class starting equipment list (one of your choice), a letter from your master acknowledging your skill or potential, set of common clothes, and a belt pouch containing 10 gp.
