Awakened Quirk Table

Being awoken comes with its own unique quirks and habits. Roll a d8 or pick a quick from the following table.

d8 Awakened Quirk Table
1 You are extremely scittish and are easily scared
2 You were a plant and as such, when you have nothing to do you are quite simply satisfied by staring in a random direction
3 You still have a hard time not eating food the moment you see it and manners are still extremely foreign to you
4 Even now you are awakened you still feel a connection with your previous pack or grove
5 You were born in an extremely hostile enviroment and as such still react with violence
6 You still regularly clean yourself the old fashion way, while this doesnt give you weird looks from random people, your companions might think differently about it
7 You have the ability to speak, but it still feels more natural to bark
8 You were awakened while still a young plant, and as such you keep on growing
 
Feature: Indistinguishable nature

As a member of your species, many commoners would easily mistake you for a normal creature of low intelligence and will say things around you that they wouldnt say to anyone that would be able to understand them. This ability will fail however if you make it obvious that you are of average intelligence.
