You once lived without ownership of your own life—chained, controlled, or cast aside as property by those who saw themselves above you. But something changed. You escaped, were freed, or fought for your liberation. The path since then has not been easy, but every step has been your own. You bear the weight of your past in scars and memories, but also in resilience, purpose, and unshakable will. You’ve seen the darkest cruelty mortals can inflict—and now, you strive to forge something better, for yourself or for others still in chains.
Whether you were a gladiator forced to kill, a laborer sold for debt, or a child raised in captivity, your story is yours to tell—and no one else's.

You are accustomed to hardship and grueling labor. You can work for twice as long before suffering exhaustion and often go unnoticed when enduring pain or fatigue. Sympathetic commoners may offer you food or shelter.
