You were once two separate people, perhaps siblings or lovers. You might have been sworn enemies. Then some event happened and you became two souls in the same body. This often times confuses other people as you talk to the other soul. If you hate the other soul then just know there is one thing that both souls want. To survive. Even if you have your disagreements with the other soul, you can put aside the differences if a dragon is chasing you.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two skill proficiencies that the souls have learned for their character sheets
- Tool Proficiencies: You two have learned to play a game so that you can keep yourselves entertained.
- Languages: Gain two languages of your choice and decide which soul knows that language. Often times, if asked, the soul not running the body will translate to common so the other can understand.
- Equipment: You gain a gaming set of your choice, A large backpack with labeled compartments, and 10gp
As you are two people in one body, you can switch between souls when the two souls agree, roll a DC 11 for the two souls to agree, if you fail, you have to wait until your next turn to switch. You must roll a DC 11 to switch again if you want to again (Only for Combat, while out of Combat the two agree almost all the time). When you do, switch character sheets to the other soul, keeping the Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores. This second character sheet may also choose to select a different class. Skills and proficiency are different on the second character sheet. You may also speak to the other soul as if it were a person standing in front of you. Also, when you go to sleep, the other soul comes out, although both souls are subject to spells that cause effects such as sleep and fear.
As a side note, Hit die is always 1d8 with this background despite what your class may say.

| d8 | Bond |
|---|---|
| 1 | I would do anything for (Insert other soul's name). I feel that my life wouldn't be the same without them. |

| 4 | One of us is of a different race and doesn't want to admit it |

| 6 | Somehow we are both on the same wavelength when it comes to wanting to steal stuff. |
| 7 | It is sometimes too easy to tell us apart because of our polar opposite personalities. |
| 8 | It's hard to get the other soul out due to them being incredibly shy and it's hard for me to give control to them at the same time. |
