Amnesiac Image

You woke up some time ago in a strange place with no memory of who you are, where you are, or how you got here. All you had on your person were your clothes, maybe a weapon or magical focus of some sort, and minimal personal belongings. You might even have some muscle memory or fleeting knowledge of something. Who were you? How did you lose your memory? Do you even want to know? Who knows you? How do you know these things? These are the sorts of questions an amnesiac would ask of themselves.

 
Skill Proficiencies: You have prior knowledge of a certain skill . You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice.
Tool Proficiencies: There is one set of tools of your choice that you appear to be a natural at using, suggesting that in your prior life you were proficient at using them. You gain proficiency in one set of tools of your choice.
Languages: Somehow you're fluent in one language, and you're not sure how. You gain proficiency in any one language of your choice.
Equipment: You start with a pouch with 10 gp, a trinket of your choice or rolled from the table, commoner's clothes, and a tool of your choice.
 
Feature: Flashback

When you meet someone, go to a place, or find an item that was important to your past you have a flashback showing part or all of its significance to you. Your DM would decide when these flashbacks happen and what causes them. After getting the flashback you have advantage on all ability checks and saving throws related to the person, place, or thing that caused the flashback.
