You were once a being of the Nine Hells, but you have been cast out for reasons that are your own. You now walk alone, hated by your own kind and distrusted by most others. You tried joining mortal civilization but quickly learned one thing: you don't fit in. You currently have nothing to do with society or other intelligent beings, besides the occasional run-in or bi-monthly trip to town for wares. Your time away from society has taught you how to take care of yourself, you find comfort in whatever animals you can coerce or endear into staying with you.

Your time alone has led you to develop an eccentricity in your behavior. It is something clearly noticeable but without any major ramifications on your day-to-day life. Choose an eccentricity of your own, or roll on the table below.
| d6 | Eccentricity |
|---|---|
| 1 | I mutter to myself under my breath. |
| 2 | I name each animal I meet and treat them like a person. |
| 3 | I hoard a small, common object, such as a nut or keys. |
| 4 | I stare at whatever interests me, regardless of how socially acceptable it is. |
| 5 | I make noises whenever I am uncomfortable. |
| 6 | I have a trinket (see PHB 159) that I always keep with me in my hands. |
Your time spent in the wilderness has taught you how to find and make cover in practically any circumstance. When you are in the wilderness, you have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks made to find shelter, as well as determining what plants are edible. and if you are unable to find shelter you are able to make shelter in half an hour using only the resources provided by nature. This shelter protects from most of the elements, though not from extreme weather or temperature. Additionally, if you befriend an animal they can be added to your pack and will follow you throughout your journey and head your call in battle.
Suggested Characteristics
As an Infernal Outcast, you were once a resident of the Nine Hells, and the fires of the Nine Hells have shaped and tempered you. Regardless of the circumstances that caused you to be cast out, what you have learned and experienced follows you. You may be given to amorality and cruelty or you have turned your back completely on your heritage and strive towards kindness, but no matter what else you are, you are a survivor.
