You ar a young child, somewhere from 5 to 12 years old.
There are many reasons that you might have for adventuring, but it is a little strange and unnerving that someone so young is risking their life.
However, regardless of your motivation, you are a child in a world of grwon-ups. So it will be hard, but fun!
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from:
Persuasion, Deception, Animal Handling, Acrobatics, Preformance
- Tool Proficiencies: Gaming set, Musical Instrument
- Equipment: Mess Kit, a set of common clothes, a small belt pouch containing 3 gold pieces, a backpack, and a small toy of your choosing
Your naivety and inexperience with the world around you lead you to have an overwhelming appreciation for everything you see. You can use this to your advantage in order to seem innocent or non-threatening, or just to convince that cool wizard to let you pet their familiar. Some magic items will work better for you if "sense of childlike wonder" is mentioned in the lore.
