Crossplane Refugee

You left your home dimension under duress. Maybe because it was being invaded by an overwhelming enemy, or perhaps because it was breaking up due to some unforeseen cosmic catastrophe. However it happened, you had to survive the transition to a brand-new realm of existence. This harrowing experience taught you many things about yourself and others - some good, some terrible - but all contributed to your survival and who you are now. 

Skill Proficiencies: Persuasion, Stealth

Languages: Two of your choice

Equipment: A journal with a record of where you came from and how you got to where you are now, a leather amulet set with a stone from your home plane (50 gp value), set of common clothes, and 5 gp.

Suggested Characteristics

Crossplane refugees were forced (in most cases) to flee their home dimensions to save their own lives. Why, when and how a crossplane refugee takes to the multiverse has a profound influence on their attitudes and ideals. Many have recurring nightmares of some aspect of the experience. 

d8	Personality Trait
1	I've been running so long that I don't trust new places or people easily.
2	If you expect disaster, you'll never be disappointed; I'm a fatalist.
3	Having suffered greatly myself, I sympathize with others who suffer loss.
4	Having to rely only on myself for so long, I am supremely confident in my choices until proven wrong.
5	I know that one way of surviving is fitting in; I try to learn as much about new places as I can.
6	Being a stranger in a strange land, I don't even try to learn local traditions and etiquette
7	I am always a little tired; I try to avoid sleep on account of the nightmares.
8	Having lost everything, I'm easily startled and always on guard for new danger.

d6	Ideal
1	Generosity. If someone is in need, those with the means should provide aid and comfort. (Good)
2	Vengeance. I care about vengeance against those who wronged me more than anything. (Any)
3	Justice. Society is made up of many individuals, and those who break its ideals should be brought to account. (Lawful)
4	Avarice. You only get what you can take; everyone who thinks otherwise is a sucker. (Evil)
5	Family. Cherish your family - either the one you were born into or the one you make. (Good)
6	Guile. It's safer to present a false facade to the world than let people know your vulnerabilities. (Neutral)

d6	Bond
1	The memories of my lost loved ones are precious to me, and I think on them daily.
2	The world/dimension that was lost to me is something I vow to renew or find again.
3	I want revenge on whoever or whatever destroyed my world, whatever it takes.
4	Those who first took me in suffered for it, and I need to make that right.
5	I did not flee alone; a family member (sibling, child, spouse, parent, etc.) escaped with me, and I see to their needs however I can.
6	I left behind someone I loved when I fled; I'll never leave anyone alone in dire straits again.

d6	Flaw
1	If I'm reminded of my personal tragedy, I verbally (or physically) strike out at others.
2	I have a terrible habit (such as imbibing too much of a stimulant or depressant) that makes me unreliable.
3	I have an unreasoning hate for authority that commonly leads to trouble for me or my friends.
4	Having been lied to and cheated before, I assume most strangers are liars and swindlers.
5	To survive my escape from home, I had to steal from those less fortunate than me.
6	I lie about nearly everything; it's second nature to me.
