In his attempt to make a Unique being he made you, and then he left, and you do not know why. Did he teach you about your origins? Do you still remember flickers of who you were before? Do you embrace your difference or abhore it?

The experiment that was done on you left you with a strange body part that would not normally be part of your race's anatomy, the extra or altered part is completely part of you, and cach different possibility comes with its own merit.

To determine which unnatural addition you have, choose two or roll on the table below. If you roll an addition which you already naturally have (ie. claws on a tabaxi), then reroll on the table. Your unnatural addition can look however you like.
