- Skill Proficiencies: [Tooltip Not Found], Nature, Perception, Insight, Intimidation, or Animal Handling
- Equipment: A monster hunter’s pack (containing a chest, a crowbar, a hammer, three wooden stakes, a holy symbol, a flask of holy water, a set of manacles, a steel mirror, a flask of oil, a tinderbox, and 3 torches), one trinket of special significance (choose one or roll on the Horror Trinkets table after this background), a set of common clothes, and 1 sp.
You have been cursed with lycanthropy and for whatever reason(you harmed someone close to you, you've unintentionally taken too many lives, etc.) you've decided to reject and hide it in fear.
Those who come upon your presence are uneasy of you, for you show strange, animalistic qualities. Nonetheless if you seem troubled, commoners will extend you every courtesy and do their utmost to help you. Unless you have shown yourself to be a danger to them, they will even take up arms to fight alongside you, should you find yourself facing an enemy alone.
Suggested Characteristics
You have learned to live with the terror that haunts you. You are a survivor, who can be very protective of those who bring light into your darkened life.
You transformed to protect someone you loved but ended up harming/killing them, this led you to reject your lycanthropism and keep it hidden.
