You don't mean to cause problems, they just seem to crop up around you. You've found the best way to deal with them is to drown it out. When you go missing, your friends know which benches in which city squares are your favorite to sleep on. If you're not there, they also know where to bring your bail money. A normal person's body couldn't endure this, but for you it's just Tuesday. Despite all of the obstacles in your life, things seem to have a way of working out.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two of the following: Survival, Animal Handling, Nature, Intimidation, and Deception
