Cast Out
Every outcast has been booted from society, destined to live a life without friends or a place to call home. But each outcast has their reasons for being so, whether it be rational or downright absurd. Many outcasts have no real reason why they have been outcast, they just believe that no one wants them around, so they outcast themselves. Choose or randomly determine a reason why you were cast out.

Feature: Friendly Foes
In your travels, you have spent much time with other outcasts of the world, including monsters and criminals. This gives you an advantage on any beast that has an alignment, as you have conversed with their kind on many occasions and are aware of their motives and actions. This also allows you to gain an advantage on any attempt at persuading enemy's to stop their actions.
Suggested Characteristics
Outcasts are shaped by their past and their trauma, whether it be racism, a horrible act, or anything in between. They hide away to avoid encountering the same troubles as they once faced.
