You have been subject to treatment (prison camp, lost in the wildness, etc.) that normally results in the death, but you survived. Survival had taught you many lessons expessially how to hide your loss and pain.
Since you were not supposed to survive you have made enemies, but at the same time you did something that was supposed to be impossible and there are those that hold you in awe because of it. I'm fact many have started myths about you giving you the moniker "Survivor of the ___________"
- Skill Proficiencies: Your survival required you to quickly learn to hide who you really are. You have become adept at not only surviving but also deceiving even those closest to you.

The biggest question: Did you survive on the streets in some seedy underworld or did you master the subtle arts of the wilds?
- Languages: Your time in the underground had given you the ability to use Thieves Cant
You suffered a major ordeal one that should have but didn't cause your death.

You have disadvantage when trying to hide if your mark is visible.
You have advantage when dealing with those you hold you in awe, and disadvantage with those who despise you when you're mark is visible. (Skill checks only does not affect combat.)
