At birth, you were blessed by the forces of good or by a respected member of a good temple. Through this blessing, divine powers put their faith in you. In return, you are expected to follow their path and put your faith in them. You know the flame of faith burning in your heart will warm you and your allies if you hold on to it, even in the dampest and coldest of places. This flame is your blessing and your guide.

You carry a mark that shows you are blessed, which appears somewhere on your body right after you are blessed at birth. Once you know you are blessed, the temple or other religious figures may want to educate and protect you to ensure that you can walk the holy path. However, some who see your mark are less than delighted, which may cause you to acquire enemies even as a child.

You may find out you are blessed through many means. You may be raised by a temple that tells you about your mark from the very beginning, or you may be brought up by regular folk who hide your mark’s meaning from you, and may discover its true nature later in life through other means. You can be spoiled by religious people, disciplined by religious authorities, or even hunted by heretics.

Skill Proficiencies: Two of your choice (If you are raised in a temple, you may want to choose Religion as one of them)

Languages: Celestial and one of your choice

Equipment: A holy symbol (a gift you got when people realized you were blessed), a set of common clothes, and a belt pouch containing 15 gp
