You were never what your parents wanted you to be. Whether is it was by your actions, words or persued interests, you constantly seemed a disappointment to them. Neither they nor the rest of your family understood you. One day you struck out on your own and haven't looked back.
- Skill Proficiencies: You had developed a talent for lying to your family, at least in the short term. It kept them off your back and gave you a little breathing room at times. You are skilled in Deception and one other skill of your choice.
- Tool Proficiencies: You are proficient in one set of artisan's tools, musical instrument or gaming set of your choice. Your proficiency may be related to your own interests or it may be something you were forced to learn from your family.
- Equipment: When you left home, you took your life savings and a few supplies.
Feature: Always Ready to Impress
Constantly trying to impress your parents, you jumped from interest to interest in the hopes that they would see your potential. Consequently, you probably know a little bit about a lot of things. You are able to talk comfortably about a variety of topics and can fit into almost any crowd. You know theory; you know jargon. You rarely get lost in a conversation.
Suggested Characteristics
You most likely have an adventurous and independent spirit, not content with the life your parents had envisioned for you. You rebel against other people's molds or labels you. You are used to relying on yourself.
