Redeemed Soul

Since the beginning of time Dark deities and powers have whispered and promised into the hearts of mortals. The followers are scattered and separated, with little to no unity between the different groups. Hidden hierarchies of power-hungry mortals corrupt and seduce, promising a sliver of the same power they had been promised when the time comes to reap their harvest. You once followed these same dark forces until a champion of the gods of light shine a light into your heart. That light showed you the error of your life and pulled you to abandon those dark forces and vow to interfere in their goals wherever and whenever you could. This leads to make many enemies of those churches

Suggested Characteristics

Use the tables for the Acolyte background in the PHB as the basis for your traits and motivations, modifying the entries when appropriate to match your ties to your intent on fleeing your past and rectifying your future. Your bond is likely associated with those who gave you the insight and strength to flee your old ways. Your ideal probably involves your wishing to take down and destroy those who promote the dark ways you escaped, and perhaps finding new faith in a forgiving god.
