You do not know who you are or where you came from. By some form or manner you've lost all your memories, and you don't know if you'll ever get them back. Something in you calls for something you cannot reach or fathom, it beckons you into the fog of your memories.

Something happened to rid you of your memories. Perhaps you injured your brain, sustained a trauma that wiped your memories, were subjected to a wicked spell, were abandoned by an indifferent creator, or you've been granted a clean slate by a god. Whatever the case, you don't know what, or how, or if you'll ever get your memories again. Choose, or randomly determine a defining event that threw you into the fog of unknowing.
| d10 | Defining Event |
|---|---|
| 1 | I saw something I shouldn't have. It's the last thing I remember. |
| 2 | I was created for a purpose. Once I finished my task, my creator wiped my memory and abandoned me. |
| 3 | I stood alone against a terrible monster. I only remember the pain when teeth tore into my limb. |
| 4 | I woke up in hospice, but it's a blur. I can't remember if I left before the nurses came, or if I met the people who said they were my family. |
| 5 | I woke up on the forest floor. All I knew was my head hurt. |
| 6 | I was getting breakfast when I noticed it was suddenly dusk. My memories faded through the month, I have nothing left but a journal. |
| 7 | I woke up in a cabin one day. A dog greeted me like a friend, it's the only thing I trust. |
| 8 | I'm a solider in an army. Or, that's what the medic told me. Now that the battle's over, I don't know where I'm meant to go. Nobody seems to know me here. |
| 9 | Strange lights greeted me when I woke up. Apparently, I made a deal with celestial, fey, or similar creature. They follow me around, but they don't tell me what I bargained for. |
| 10 | I'm old, that's all I know for certain. Doctors tell me it's dementia, but something about it feels off. |
You don't know what's normal. Thankfully, you don't know what's strange, either! Being overwhelmed so much by everything has lead you to simple 'whelm.' [When faced with enough abnormality according to your common sense, you'll be able to simply expect the abnormal]. Being objective grants you a certain common sense, but it in a world where common sense doesn't much work for you, [you become more adaptable to changing environments] the very moment you abandon it.
Suggested Characteristics
You don't feel right. Your body is your own, but the world doesn't feel the same. You feel like an outsider in your own life. The people around you tell you about yourself, but you only view them as strangers. A part of you feels like a stranger. You need to discover yourself again, that's what everyone around you says; but, you don't feel like you'll ever be that self again.
You don't know if you fear the animosity of the people around you, or the inevitable disappointment of others when they find you will never be "you" again.

| d6 | Ideal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Honesty. I cannot pretend to be something I'm not. I've distanced myself from people in my past through being blunt. I cannot be who I was before, it's about time people accepted that. (Neutral) |
| 2 | Fairness. No one should get preferential treatment before the law, and no one is above the law. (Lawful) |
| 3 | Freedom. There's something light about having no attachments, I believe people should be allowed to feel the same. (Neutral) |
| 4 | Ambition. I've been granted a second chance at life, a blank slate. I'll be damned if I don't take it. (Any) |
| 5 | YOLO. People have short, fragile lives. I plan to have an impact. |
| 6 | Destiny. Something kept me alive, nothing and no one can stop me from finding out why. (Any) |
| d6 | Bond |

| 1 | I might have a family, but I have no idea who they are. One day, I hope to meet them. |
| 2 | Something or someone left me like this. |
| 3 | I've welcomed scammers and thieves into my home before, certain groups see me as an easy mark. |
| 4 | My tools are symbols of my past life, and I carry them because they are all I know from who I was. |
| 5 | I have people who claim they are my friends, my family. I'll never know for sure, but I want it to be true. |
| 6 | I help the lost because I know what it feels like to need it. |
| d7 | Flaw |
|---|---|
| 1 | [Listless] Other people seem to know me, but I don't know myself. I don't know if I'll ever live up to their expectations. I don't know if I want to. |
| 2 | [Doppleganger] The people I woke up to tell me I stole this body of mine. I find it harder each day to refute them. |
| 3 | [Reason] I’m convinced of the significance of my destiny, and blind to my shortcomings and the risk of hopelessness. |
| 4 | [Uncanny] I cannot look the people who knew me in the past in the eye, I can't take anymore unnerved glances and disappointed gazes. |
| 5 | [Escape] My mind is not a comforting space, I have a need for distraction from my thoughts. The city's vices come in handy, especially hard drinks. |
| 6 | [Despair] At times, I believe remembering would erase who I am now. And I fear I would welcome it, knowing my current existence is only pain for those who knew me. |
| 7 | [Prosopagnosia] I have trouble trusting in my allies. Any face could be one who knew me, and I'd never know. |
You never know when you'll run into someone who knows you. In every town, there's a chance of finding someone who used to.
If friend, they will be sympathetic to your cause, and be more likely to help you--though not at the expense of their life. They will be more perceptible to [Persuasion]-type checks, at the DMs discretion.
If foe, you may be more susceptible into being tricked, taken, or attacked.
A familiar face is not always a good thing. Not everyone you know will have it out for you, but the possibility is unnerving.
