You're like another normal person. You have a place where you came from, a family, a background - except you don't remember them. At all. Not one single bit. You've somehow forgotten. Since then, you've been searching for your backstory, for your memories, and for any clue of who you are. Maybe you're a sorcerer with wild magic, but because of your background you don't know how you got it. Maybe you're a cleric, but you have no memories of ever worshiping any gods. Maybe you're even just a fighter, who knows how to fight but has absolutely no idea how they learned. No matter what you are, or what's happening, you don't remember anything of the past.
- Skill Proficiencies: Investigation, Insight
- Tool Proficiencies: One of your choice that you don't remember learning
- Languages: One of your choice that you don't remember learning
- Equipment: A diary or other trinket from your past, the tool you chose to be proficient with, a set of common clothes, and 10 gp
Feature: Past Recollections
Even though you mostly forget your past, you have a few recollections of memories. Work with your DM to decide what the recollections are. If your backstory is connected to the campaign, then the DM might let you find out more about yourself during your adventure.
