You should understand wealth, power, and privilege. You should carry a noble title, for your family owns land, collects taxes, and wields significant political influence. But you are not, for your parents hated you since they first laid eyes on you. Perhaps you are a bastard child, or have a genetic mutation, or even are cursed. Either way, your parents hold no love for you, and you hold little political power even in your own household.

Feature: Noble of two Worlds
While many nobles acknowledge you as one of their own, there are more who don't. This allows you to have a good reputation among the folks who oppose nobility despite you having power like theirs. If you reveal yourself to have nobles against you, common folk will likely side with you. If you reveal yourself to be a child of nobles, nobility will be inclined to favor you.
Suggested Characteristics
You have very little support from your parents. This has likely lead you to be self-sufficient, as well as have issues trusting others.
