Be it your own efforts, cosmic happenstance, a close encounter with the Wheel of Time, or simply the divine will of the Gods. Either way, you have extensive experience in questing, adventuring, and generally living life...because you've been trapped in a time loop, doomed to return to one moment in your past every time you die, only to relive the same events over and over until you make more forward progress.
- Skill Proficiencies: History, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: One type of artisan’s tools, vehicles (land)
- Languages: One exotic language of your choice.
- Equipment: A set of artisan’s tools (one of your choice), a shovel, an adventuring pack of your choice, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 50 gp
That Dreaded Moment
Because of the nature of your curse/blessing/twist, there is a singular moment in your history you perpetually return to upon death. It could be a moment of great triumph, of immense terror, or a massive upheaval in what you once considered 'normal'. Define that event for the future.

Feature: Deja Vu(I've just been in this place before!)

Because of this, with your DM's approval, you can draw from these memories of past adventures to gain Advantage on certain rolls that reflect your past. Be it drawing from a class you once were, or drawing from memories of great heroic feats.
