Some call you a fraud, others: a con artist. Others might consider you a jack of all trades, or someone whose attention flits from one subject to another so often they don't know quite what sort of upbringing you had. But writ-large, most of those even would agree on one subject, and that is you are most likely going mad.
You aren't really sure what your background is, because you remember too many different backgrounds as though they are your real past. Meeting new people always seems like de ja vu, newly acquired skills feel like old friends, and the reality of it is that one of your other selves learned that skill or met that person before.
In the multiverse, every soul is connected with every other version of themselves. In this instance, you can feel the impulses of memory and inspiration from your other selves in the multiverse. The detriment to this is you also can't really tell what is your past, and what is remembered from your other lives as they all collide together, splintering your reality as all others converge on your mind.

Suggested Characteristics
d6 | Personality Trait |
---|---|
1 | I often pick up random objects around me absent-mindedly as though reminiscing, and return them carefully to their place. |
2 | I often feel de ja vu when I meet new people or remember situations that never occurred. |
3 | I am suspicious of everyone I meet. You never know if one of them betrayed you in another life. |
4 | I am quick to trust and rarely question authority. With all the friends I have made through the multiverse, everyone is a potential friend. |
5 | I feel uncomfortable around new things and people. With all I've experienced, the familiar is what keeps me grounded in this reality. |
6 | My head is on a swivel constantly, ever vigilant for the next enemy or surprise. |
d6 | Ideal |
---|---|
1 | I believe there is potential for good in everyone around me, even the bad guys (good). |
2 | No one can be trusted. I've been betrayed in so many realities, distrust is the only constant I know. |
3 | Friends are the only constant in each reality, and the ones I've made in this reality are the most important, because they are all I have here. |
4 | Charity is a trait I wish I experienced more of, and it drives the way I deal with common folk and shopkeepers. |
5 | Material comforts are what makes this reality bearable. Altruism and relationships are fickle truths that shift from reality to reality, but creature comforts are universal. |
6 | The worlds would be better if everyone helped one another. Evil is everywhere, but so is goodness! |
d6 | Bond |
---|---|
1 | My sanity was restored by a local healer who recognized my condition as a splintered soul. Because of this, I will help them whenever they call. |
2 | I help the needy because most of my memories from my other selves seem to center around living as a beggar. I hope to change my cosmic karma in all realities by being a good person (good). |
3 | I am a natural leader! All of my experiences work to give me the best experience for taking command of any situation. |
4 | I owe my life in another reality to someone I know in this life who doesn't know me, and I intend to repay that life debt. |
5 | I owe my sanity to my religion. It has given me the insight to deal with the visions that frequently intrude on my life. |
6 | I serve because I must. I was a terrible person in most of my memories, and I am seeking redemption for things I've never done in this reality. |
d6 | Flaw |
---|---|
1 | Alcoholic: I drink excessively to forget my other lives. It never works, but I try. |
2 | Paranoia: I have enemies who are able to travel the multiverse, and they are out to get me! |
3 | Gambler: I gamble and take risks for the rush, but really I'm playing the odds that I'll remember something from another reality to help me win... maybe this time! |
4 | I have a fear of dimensional travel and teleportation. You never know if one might cause a paradox by accidentally transiting dimensions and meeting ones self! |
5 | Magic is terrifying. It's probably what caused my condition in the first place. If I must use it, it is a necessary evil. |
6 | I am quick to hold grudges and slow to forgive, if at all. If you've wronged me in this reality, chances are you've wronged me in every other one as well. |
