You never knew your parents. Left on the orphanage steps as a child, you struggled to fit in as you grew. You know the world as a cold, cruel one with little joy. You may have lived on the streets, or you aged out of the orphanage system. As you journey through your world, desperate to survive, there is a deep need to choose one person around you to attach to.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two skill proficiencies from Acrobatics, Deception, Insight, Investigation, Stealth, or Survival.
- Tool Proficiencies: You may choose between a Forgery Kit, Disguise Kit, or Thieves' Tools.
- Languages: You have picked up phrases in many languages in order to survive, but you have taken on the language of the adult you cling to.
- Equipment: You carry a bedroll, a torch, a set of common clothes, a pouch containing 20 gp, and a doll.
You are met with an 'Oh, poor child' mindset from anyone older than you. They will see you as weak and needing of care and protection no matter your status, skill, or level. You will often receive free food and clothes, and places like inns will take you in for a far cheaper price. You can use being underestimated to your advantage in many cases, especially in battle. You will be taken as innocent first in all situations, allowing you easier opportunities for thieving and destruction without facing consequences.
