Escaped Prisoner

In a dark, damp alley, a person sits on a crate. That person is you. After years of endless torture, you escaped. Your body is enveloped by a myriad of cuts and bruises, probably by the constant punishment that was brought to you by the guards. Your teeth, once a natural white, are now a dark, saturated ecru shadow of their former self. Your hair is twisted and dirty from a lack of cleaning. You were lucky to find that jacket and hood in the alley. The jacket has some extra gold inside, along with a dagger wrapped in the hood. Maybe these were abandoned, or maybe they were left for your arrival. Unlike others, you have more knowledge of the danger that surrounds you, so you prefer to be hidden or swift. You also know some languages, after being imprisoned for so long. However, the knowledge is held back by the shackles of silence, which prevent you from using magic. You must survive in this cruel world, but how.
