Experiment

A scientist, arcanist, or the like acquired you at some point in your life. Maybe they were your parent, maybe you were adopted, maybe you were kidnapped, maybe it was voluntary. Either way, your body was warped by the experimentation, and nothing you do can revert you to your original state. Or maybe there is a way to reverse what has been done to you. You've either learned to live with your... modifications, using them to your advantage. Or you haven't come to terms with your new reality and hide them from the world. Either way, you find it difficult to live a normal life.

Skill Proficiencies: Your choice of two from among Acrobatics, Athletics, Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Medicine, Perception, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, Stealth, or Survival based on the nature of the experiments preformed on you.

Equipment: A set of common clothes with a hood, a trinket (choose one or roll on the Trinkets table), and a pouch containing 10 gold pieces.
