Through some means, weather it be through a deity or magic, you were resurrected.
Do you look as fresh as the day you died or as fresh as someone who just stepped out of their coffin after 100 years? How long has it been, do you remember who you are, why were you brought back? Is it all a mystery full of hazy memories or is it like you just woke up after a good nights rest? Do you remember the afterlife?
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose 2 from History, Intimidation or deception
- Languages: Choose either Celestial or Abyssal and one other language related to your past
- Equipment: A trinket from your past, disguise kit, a set of common cloths, and a pouch containing 10 gp
If you want, you can give of a creepy, spine-shivering presence, somewhat hinting towards your unnatural state, though it does not instant;y give away what you truly are. It can be used to clear out rooms and intimidate others around you. Use it wisely though, if the wrong person catches on to the truth then you may find yourself regretting it.
