You are the runt of the litter in your family, and so wish to prove yourself more than you've been treat all your life. This may make you a ruthless mercenary or a low-confidence wreck, depending on how your character reacts.
- Skill Proficiencies: You are proficient in making yourself better and over-coming odds. Skills such athletics to make you stronger or insight to see just how the others really view you
- Tool Proficiencies: You may not be well respected in your community, so making things yourself can be of great importance. Smithing and Carpentry may not come easily to you, but skill is born from necessity
- Languages: You find it useful learning powerful, forceful languages such as orc or primordial or giant. Allowing you to form strong allies in other areas. Or prehaps Elvish and Celestial will make you sound more advanced and intelligent, giving you the respect of those in higher places.
You are able to connect with those who have been outcast or unwanted. You can understand peoples problems and because of that can become trusted to those who you talk to. You can make people feel at ease and, in the right situation, get what information you need out of them.
Suggested Characteristics
You may be loud and brash, in an attempt to prove to those back home and yourself that you are stronger and smarter than they ever believed (this may or may not actually be the case)
or
The effect of people putting you down has left you quiet and reserved, feeling like your input is less than others.

Posted Jul 9, 2021I like this background, but the skill and tool proficiencies as well as the languages should be a bit more specific. If you just want to say two skills of your choice, or something similar, that's fine, but otherwise this doesn't tell you want you should take for this background.
