You were abandoned/orphaned from a young age. You wander the lands, searching for a community to accept you, far from the place you were born. You understand what it feels like to live in the rough, having survived between the lands alone. Or you live on the outskirts of town, rejected by the people who are unable to understand you.

Feature: Self-protections
Having been pushed out/betrayed once, you are skeptical to trust people. You have had to lookout for yourself, and so have become self-sufficient. Hiding was sometimes your best friend, protecting yourself was a necessity. Whilst people may judge you, your true character is tucked away, in the hopes that you may be accepted.
Suggested Characteristics
An outcast has had people turn their back on them, throughout their life. Some miss the home they grew up in, whilst others want to warm their hands in its fire. That event defines the person you are, or the monster that they created.
