Minor miracles foretold of your coming years before you were born. Powerful entities may have been present for your birth. By heralding angel, prophesy, or by king, you have been named a champion of destiny. Prophesies, however, can be wrong. A corruption has touched your soul. You are no longer set down the path of greatness you were chosen for. You travel a different path now, cursed to undo the works of history.
You have a way about you that draws the attention of others, as if your presence comes with a strong gravitational pull. Fate itself is knotted around you, and people can't help but pay attention. You stand out when you want to, and you know how to make good on someone's focus.
- Skill Proficiencies: Religion, and your choice of intimidation or Persuasion
- Languages: Two of your choice.
- Equipment: A set of common clothes, a trinket stolen away from your past, and a pouch containing 10 gp.
Your sense of pride, self-pity, or general indignation makes you hard to ignore. People find themselves absent mindedly watching you, and some will want to approach you. The ways you carry yourself and talk make you stand out as someone who needs to be watched, for better or worse.
With only a subtle word or gesture, you can easily grab the attention of anyone around you. You can draw intense focus from a person if you want to.
Suggested Characteristics
The corruption that changed your fate influences you on a daily basis. It might propel you forward to greatness of a different kind than you were intended for, or it might antagonize you to no end. Your character and spirit have been shaped by two conflicting forces.
