Second Chance

You are a young adult spellcaster with literally no idea where you even came from. Your body is in the prime of it's youth and yet you as a person feel remarkably old. And you have no idea of the actual truth.
The truth being that you are a failed attempt at immortality, screwed up by your far more powerful former self. Whether a punishment of the gods for your arrogance, a failure in your carefully prepared clone spell, a last ditch effort of a wannabe hero to prevent you from becoming a lich or the horrible side effect of an at least partially succesful youth-potion. Your old soul finds itself confused, bereft of you previous vast knowledge and skills in a young body. Back at the foot of the mountain looking at the sysyphean task of maturing into life experience once again.

Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, History

Languages: Two of your choice

Equipment: A dagger, a fully broken spellcasting heirloom, an archaic set of common clothes, a blank journal of unknown origin and a pouch containing 10 gp in a foreign currency

Suggested Characteristics

Characters who live their second chance are a weird mixture of a clean slate in regards to their skills, youth and knowledge combined with an emotional maturity stemming directly from their aged souls.
As such they tend to be contemplative and confused in regards to those discrepancies while otherwise showing personality traits of whoever they were before the events that led to their current predicament.
