Alchemic/Arcane Construct Image

You were created in an alchemical and/or arcane experiment. Perhaps you were created by an evil wizard as a slave, or perhaps a powerful group of magi created you simply to prove they could. Regardless of why you were created, you are uncertain of the reason behind it. For one reason or another, you have been left to your own devices, and you have the freedom to choose your own destiny.

 
Skill Proficiencies: Arcana and Investigation
Tool Proficiencies: Alchemist's Supplies
Languages: Common and three languages of your choice
Equipment: A simple set of robes, a journal containing ciphered notes on your creation, a brand or tattoo left on you by your creator, and a pouch containing 15 gold pieces.
 
Purpose

You were created for a purpose, and that could be just about anything. You could come up with your own origin of creation, or work with your DM to make one, or simply use the table below.

d6 Purpose
1 I was created, along with many others, to serve as test subjects for a plethora of spells and alchemical blends.
2 My creator was incredibly lonely, and created me as a companion.
3 It seems that I was created simply to prove that it could be done.
4 I was created to act as a servant/slave to my creator.
5 My body was meant to be the new vessel for my creator's soul. How I became sentient remains a mystery.
6 I am the product of a horrible accident. Not only was my creation unintended, but there are those who seek to destroy me.
 
Feature: Magical Allies

You are easily distinguished as magical, although you may or may not know any actual magic. Magicians, wizards, and any other type of user of magic will take you under their wing if you are desperate, although they will not do the same for others. You can talk with magical beings with ease.

 
Suggested Characteristics
d8 Personality Trait
1 I am endlessly curious in regards to the world around me, especially when it comes to other living creatures.
2 Death fascinates me. If those born of natural means are unsure of their final destination, I must wonder what death has in store for me.
3 I seek a new master, one who can adequately guide me to my purpose.
4 I am filled with envy towards those naturally born. I endlessly crave the family I can never have.
5 Hatred, anger, greed and envy are pointless emotions that serve only to waste our efforts.
6 I prefer to keep to myself, preferring my own company to the company of others.
7 I’m always picking things up, absently fiddling with them, and sometimes accidentally breaking them.
8 I am emotionally unstable, swiftly alternating from emotion to emotion. This must be a defect in my creation.
d6 Ideal
1 Curiosity. The world is meant to be studied, and morality only stands in the way. (Neutral)
2 Purpose. All things were created for a reason, and have their place in the world. (Lawful)
3 Subjection. I will hunt down those who hunt me and anyone in my way will be hunted as well. (Evil)
4 Understanding. I may be born of unnatural means, but I am no less a person than anyone else. (Neutral)
5 Freedom. No one should be made to do anything against their will. (Chaotic)

d4 Bond
1 My creator is/was like family to me.
2 Being feared and hated by all has taught me to rely only on myself.
3 I feel no attachments to anything due to my newness to the world.
4 My creator's penchant for study was instilled in me, and I have taken up their work.
