You are the result of experiments done under a questionable code of ethics. Your creator molded you to satiate their own curiosity and desire, whatever that may be. You may have been the subject of research hoping to bring back the dead, or maybe your creator hoped to create a perfected or enhanced being of some kind. Regardless of the nature of the experiment, it shaped and changed you in ways that can never be undone, both physically and mentally. You bear the scars of their morbid curiosity, and you ran away in the hope to escape any further experimentation. Does your creator hunt for you, hoping to continue their work? Or maybe you killed them in the process of your escape, and now seek to start a new life? Maybe you seek to outrun the memories that plague you?

Feature: Scars of Creation
Being created or brought back from the dead is no easy feat. You bear physical evidence of the process, whether it be a deformity, a scar, or some other dramatic feature. Maybe there are metallic protrusions from your skin, or the magic that brought you back has transformed your blood somehow. Do you have blood? Are your eyes one solid color, or maybe your hair is streaked with white from the stress of reanimation? Whatever this is, it sets you apart from regular folks, and calls out your unnatural origins.
Additionally, you have a basic understanding of common laboratory equipment and their general functions. You also know the general layout of a laboratory, such as where certain items are commonly stored, or where safety equipment can be found.
