Almost The Chosen One Image

Thousands of years ago a prophecy in your kingdom foretold of a great evil rising to power and of a great good that would vanquish that evil. It was said that that person would be born under the right combination of stars, with the right hair color, the right eye color, and a birthmark in one specific place. Sadly your older twin is the one with the birthmark, not you. This left you with a life of being ignored. Maybe your parents still loved you for who you were but the country had no care as to what you would do with your life, leaving you to teach yourself. Still everything you ever did was overshadowed by your older sibling. Did they do this on purpose? Were they intentionally trying to make you look bad to make everyone love them more, or was it simply the nature of who they were that caused them to be in the way of every step you made? Were your parents always supportive of you despite you not becoming the great good that would vanquish evil, were they extra hard on you so that you could still have a life of meaning, or did they cast you aside, allowing you to do whatever you pleased because they had already given up hope of you achieving anything? How many times have you pretended to be your sibling in order to get favors, or maybe just feel the love that they are given? Whatever the case you grew up with much hatred and resentment in your heart, did you pursue a holy life to try to purge you of this hatred or did you embrace it, seeking to bring about the evil your sibling was fated to destroy, only to murder your sibling after wards?

Feature: Sibling of the Chosen One

Due to the status of your sibling, people don't look in your direction if your sibling is near. Everyone is too awestruck by your sibling, and, to be blunt, don't give two flying chamber pots about you. However, you can get certain things for free, like whatever you can get your hands on while no one is looking. Sometimes you can even get a free room or service by promising the Chosen one will visit an establishment.
