The torment and suffering you endured have shattered your psyche, resulting in Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). This condition has given rise to multiple distinct personalities, or alters, within you. Each alter has its own traits, abilities, and alignment. One of these alters is a psychotic, chaotic evil persona that emerges during moments of extreme stress or anger, while the other alters are up to you to define. This duality within you is both a curse and a source of strength, as each alter brings unique skills and perspectives to your journey.
- Skill Proficiencies: Skill Proficiencies: Intimidation, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: Tool Proficiencies: Alchemist’s supplies
- Equipment: Equipment: A set of common clothes, a journal filled with disturbing sketches and notes, a vial of black ink, a quill, and a pouch containing 10 gp.
You have multiple distinct personalities, or alters, that can take control under different circumstances. Each alter has its own traits and abilities. You can switch between alters as a bonus action, but doing so can be unpredictable. When you switch alters, roll a d6 to determine which alter takes control:
1-3: Primary Alter - A persona of your choice, defined by you. 4-5: Secondary Alter - A persona of your choice, defined by you. 6: Psychotic Alter - A chaotic evil persona that is violent and unpredictable.
