You have spent a long time in the Nine Hells - so long that you've lost count of the years. This place has warped your body and soul, which has the following effects:
- Spells that detect fiends or detect evil are alerted by your presence, no matter your race or alignment.
- You are immune to the warping effects of Demon Ichor in the Nine Hells. You are also unaffected by the exhausting effect the Nine Hells has on most non-evil creatures, as well as Pervasive Evil.
- Roll once on the Warping Table for every five years you’ve been stranded. Duplicate results have no effect; don’t reroll them. If you want, you can consult your DM for custom warping effects.

Personality Traits |
|
|
1 |
Even if I’m terrified, I’ll never show it. If something knows you’re scared, you’re as good as dead. |
|
2 |
I don’t have anyone to talk to. I’ve been alone for so long, and I get excited when another person is being friendly. |
|
3 |
I’m quiet; it feels weird to talk after needing to keep quiet for so long. |
|
4 |
I don’t like to talk about what happened to me. It’s just boring and sad. You don’t need to hear it. |
|
5 |
I often assume that certain details about the Nine Hells are common knowledge. Apparently, no one knows how deadly the Styx is when you’re alone. |
|
6 |
Pain is a fact of life. Nothing can change that. However, some feel more pain than others in their lifetimes. I’ll let you guess which end of the spectrum I’m on. |
|
Ideals |
|
|
1 |
Life: Every life is valuable. If you’re alive, it’s because you deserve it, and no one should take that away. (Good) |
|
2 |
Power: This is a world of kill or be killed. Friends are a liability, and should only be kept while they’re useful. (Evil) |
|
3 |
Togetherness: Life is hard, and we need to face it together. We’ll struggle together. (Good) |
|
4 |
Suspicious: Almost anyone could betray you in an instant. I keep the few friends I have as close as I can, for all our sakes. (Any) |
|
5 |
Survival: You need to be ready for whatever comes. There’s no way to know what you’ll face, and that alone can be deadly. I’ll always be prepared to give up my life for a friend’s. (Good) |
|
6 |
Walk Alone: If you can run, you’ll be fine. If you can’t, you’re dead meat, and if we carry you then we will be too. I’m sorry, but that’s how it works. No one likes it. (Neutral) |
|
Bonds |
|
|
1 |
The people I care about are the safest people around. |
|
2 |
I have vivid memories of a family I’ll never see again. |
|
3 |
I have dreams about rescuing a kitten. I hope I find it. |
|
4 |
I despise any fiend who walks the Planes. I mean it. |
|
5 |
I don’t know if I can even go back to my old home. This place has changed me so much that they might not want me back, and I wouldn’t blame them. |
|
6 |
I’d rather die than let someone hurt my sibling. |
|
Flaws |
|
|
1 |
I have a quick fuse, and it’s easy to light. |
|
2 |
I’m not good at interacting with people at all. |
|
3 |
I act more like a monster than a person. |
|
4 |
Feelings aren’t my thing. They only get in the way. |
|
5 |
I can be pretty scary when I’m worried about someone. No, I’m not mad at you, I’m just terrified you’re going to get hurt. |
|
6 |
I don’t care how I look. At least I’m still standing. |
