The first thing that you can remember of your life is emerging from the ruined laboratory. You were in agony, mentally and physically, and to this day haven’t discovered anything about what caused you to be in Thay. You are both drawn to that mystery as well as repulsed by it, because once you discover what gave you your scars, you can never unlearn it.
- Skill Proficiencies: Survival, and choose one from: Arcana, Athletics, Intimidation, Persuasion, Stealth
- Tool Proficiencies: Disguise kit or thieves’ tools
- Languages: Deep Speech
- Equipment: A Thayan trinket, a locket that contains a small portrait of an old person that you don’t recognize, a small glass vial with what appear to be shed skins (snake, insect, or other similar creature), a fancy signet ring, shredded clothes (noble’s, sailor’s, or soldier’s), a shovel, and a small cedar box that contains 14 gp. The coins are at least 60 years old.
Upon emerging from the ruins you either saw your scars in your reflection or someone pointed them out to you. What are they? Where are they located? Do you really want to know? (Roll twice choosing an option for (A) and (B)

When you are presented with an aberrant creature’s natural form, you instantly recall some esoteric bit of lore about that creature. Usually, this information regards the creature’s favored diet or habitat, but on rare occasion you may know that creature’s name. When this effect is triggered, your scars grow slightly larger or more numerous. If this effect is triggered because you saw a starspawn creature, you feel both kinship and intense revulsion. Your DM might rule that this effect may only happen once per day, or that the information only comes to you when you next fall asleep
