Outcast

Rejected, exiled, abandoned, banished—there are many words for one who has been shunned by those they once counted as family. Cut off from your clan or community, you now travel the world as one with no past and no way to go home again, with those who once loved you now utterly opposed to ever seeing your face again. You have been forced to learn to watch and listen, to survive on your own. You had no choice. Discuss your banishment with your DM. What clan or community were you banished from? Was it your fault? Did you commit an unforgivable crime or sin? Were you innocent, framed by someone else, or the victim of a misunderstanding? Or was your banishment part of a ritual, ceremony, or act of devotion to a god which required the relational sacrifice of a community member in good standing? Did everyone agree with your banishment, or are there those who would welcome your return?

A ceremonially broken symbol of your old community, a set of tattered clothes, a set of gatherer’s supplies, and a hastily fashioned bundle containing a cooking knife, a small keepsake such as a carving or a necklace, ashes from the ceremonial fire, a ration of dried meat, and materials worth 5 ps in the Great Valley.

Suggested Characteristics

Being cast out from everything you once knew changes a person. Some are made bitter by the change, others desire nothing more than to prove their innocence, while others simply move on. Use this table to inspire your character:

d8 Personality Trait
1 I often slip into reminiscences of my old life. As soon as I
realize what I'm doing, I fall silent, embarrassed.
2 I avoid talking about my past by getting others to talk
about themselves.
3 I don't judge others for their wrongdoing—even when
I should.
4 I keep moving because the thought of putting down
new roots is too painful.
5 I double check everything to avoid making mistakes.
6 I bond quickly with new people as a reaction to being
alone against my will.
7 I like imperfect people. It's the ones who seem like they
have it all together I don't trust.
8 I craft gifts for the people I miss back in my old
community, and leave them by the side of the path.
d6 Ideal
1 Order. Rules were made to be followed, and those
who break them should be punished. (Law)
2 Atonement. A person must repay their debts and
restore the good faith they have broken. (Any)
3 Freedom. Rules and laws are unjust. People should do
as they choose. (Chaotic)
4 Mercy. Mistakes are part of life, but grace can always
be extended. (Good)
5 Survival. It doesn't matter what you do, everyone's
just trying to stay alive. (Neutral)
6 Honor. Even when one's honor is broken, it still
matters. (Good)
d6 Bond
1 I will one day return to my clan, having won back the
right to be part of it.
2 Someone stood by my side while I was cast out. I'll
never forget them.
3 A rival's scheme led to my exile. I'll pay them back even
if it's the last thing I do.
4 The person who took me in when I was cast out is my
true family.
5 I was outcast in pursuit of knowledge. I will continue
to pursue that knowledge wherever it leads me, no
matter what.
6 I fight for outcasts and exiles everywhere.
d6 Flaw
1 I think of myself as one already dead, and take foolish
risks because my life ended the day I was exiled.
2 I doubt myself and hesitate at critical moments.
3 I mistrust authority and put my faith in those who show
marks of previous punishment.
4 I intentionally cross lines trying to sabotage new
relationships before I am rejected.
5 I act like everything's fine even when it's not.
6 I bury my unhappiness in food, strong drink, and
violence.
