You are a Sorcerer, a child of the wild magic that seems to run in your family.  You have spent your younger years in the service of a powerful Sorcerer, who took you in as a young child to teach you to harness and use the power that flows within you..  You have grown in knowledge, and you are just beginning to understand the wild magics that seem at times ready to boil your very blood.  Now, it seems, your power has grown to a place where your patron can no longer abide with you in close proximity, due to the way your magics are interacting, and you have been sent out on a quest with the hopes that you will gain control of the power within you.  Your patron has insisted that you do not return until this quest has been fulfilled.

Skill Proficiencies: History, Nature

Tool Proficiencies: You have the knowledge of Alchemist's Supplies, a  Herbalism Kit or a Poisoner's Kit.  You are also proficient with a simple musical instrument, which you use to concentrate and gain control over the wild magics that boil within you.

Languages: Two of your choice

Equipment: An Arcane Focus given to you by your patron (something considered precious and representing the relationship you had), 5 sticks of incense, a set of common clothes, a dagger, another simple weapon, such as a light crossbow, and a pouch containing 15 gp.

Suggested Characteristics

Apprentices are shaped by their experiences with their master.  Their study of the history and the natural world affect their mannerisms and ideals. Their flaws might be some hidden resentment of their patron, or an uncontrollable desire to rebel and grow in their own direction, or an ideal or bond taken to an extreme.
