Reborn

You used to be a legendary figure from long ago. Unfortunately, that version of you died, and instead of being reincarnated the "usual" way (being physically born again and living out a second full life), your present incarnation was spontaneously generated from natural energies around your previous self's grave.

Skill Proficiencies: You have borrowed some knowledge and capability from your previous life. You are proficient in two "mental" skills (relying on Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma) of your choice.

Tool Proficiencies: You have borrowed some knowledge of tools from your previous life, as well. You are proficient in one musical instrument and one miscellaneous tool of your choice.

Suggested Characteristics

As a spontaneously created reincarnation, you have some of the memories of your past life, but most are missing, and you have not gone through infancy. This can leave you out of touch with the world around you.

d8	Personality Trait
1	I like to talk about my past self whenever a memory comes back to me.
2	I tend to use the kinds of phrases old people use to refer to the past, even if I'm still young.
3	I'm afraid to learn more about my past, and so I avoid historical records like the plague.
4	I'm an idealist, hoping the new world is better in some way than the one I lived in before.
5	My old life got boring near the end, and I look at this life of fresh opportunity with relish and desire.
6	I want to finish whatever my past self started.
7	I speak with my old self's accent, one nobody still alive uses.
8	I turn my nose up at the changes to my world that make little sense from my perspective.

d6	Ideal
1	Individuality. Just because I used to be someone else, that doesn't mean I have to keep being them. (Chaotic)
2	Repetition. Do as my past self would do - or at least, as I think they would do. (Neutral)
3	Trying Again. It's never too late to set right what I once did wrong. (Good)
4	Perseverance. I must uphold a moral code, whether because my past self did, or because they didn't. (Lawful)
5	Ruin. If this is going to keep happening, I can commit whatever horror I want and come back from the fatal repercussions with a clean slate. (Evil)
6	Improvement. Whatever my past self did, I have the chance to do it better. (All)

d6	Bond
1	For anyone who my old self knew, my current self feels a subconscious longing. This longing is stronger if any such people are still around.
2	New friends are silver, old friends are platinum.
3	I prefer to be a lone wolf, save for one ally whose company I prefer, who reminds me of someone I once knew.
4	I will actively try to mirror my past self's equipment, even if it's seen as impractical nowadays.
5	The villain of my past self's story may very well be the villain of my own.
6	There is a type of weak monster my past self used to slaughter, whose kind I now pity as a result.

d6	Flaw
1	I'm too hung up about the past to look forward to the future.
2	I tend to talk down to my equals and even superiors.
3	Without thinking, I may casually mention my origin in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and/or to the wrong people.
4	I am too committed to doing what I did before, but better, to focus on trying new things.
5	Since this reincarnation has happened once, I'm overly confident that it will happen again if I die.
6	The slightest insult to my past self's name, even if it's true, throws me into a blind rage.
