You are a psychopath, who as a child, was mentally broken and shattered, being left with a mind that cannot comprehend reality in the same way as others. Because of your shattered mind, you behave, speak, and act differently than any other sane person, switching personalities on the dime, and taking on completely different personas in an instant, with no forewarning to it. What broke your psyche as a child? How did you get to this hell? Were you kidnapped? Did you get here by accident? What do you wear for a hat? What about your cloak?
- Skill Proficiencies: Skill Proficiencies: Stealth, Athletics, Intimidation, Survival and Sleight of Hand.
- Tool Proficiencies: Tool Proficiencies: Improvised Tools (this discards all other tool proficiencies), Tool Proficiencies: Choose one between thieves' tools or poisoner's kit.
- Languages: Choose two, one of which must be Abyssal, Celestial, Deep Speech, Draconic, Infernal, Primordial, Sylvan, or Undercommon
- Equipment: Equipment: A hat/helmet/mask that casts a shadow over/covers your eyes. A type of cloak, set of Common Clothes, a small blade of your choice (i.e. a hatchet, sickle, knife, etc.), a wind up music box that plays an eerie tune from your childhood, and a bloody coin purse with 15 gold.
You can't escape from everything, and this includes yourself. Your mind was broken and left your psyche clinging for any bit of sanity. This tends to have your mentality in constant conflict, with your sanity and insanity fighting for control. A conversation can begin with one but end with the other. You are not one person, but two within one vessel. Your personality can change on a dime, leaving many to be unnerved by your presence as you converse with them, or are even near them. This tends to leave people avoiding you as often as possible.
When your mind broke, so did your perception of reality. You see the world in a different way than what most would perceive. You believe that there are things where there is nothing or nothing where there is something, like a door that won't open where there is no actual door or a little girl where a night hag stands. You cannot tell the difference between an illusion created by your insanity and the realities of the world around you.
