The further human civilisation expands, the more people are forced to coexist with primal forces from the dawn of time. Be they mischievous elves, wrathful fiends, or creatures from beyond the material plain, these entities are well documented for snatching children who wander into the forest, sleep too soundly, or misbehave. Often, they leave behind replacements. These replacements are otherworldly children who take their place in society, and reap the benefits of being human. You aren’t human, but people think you are. You’ve lived most of your life as a human, and that isn’t likely to change any time soon.

Personality Traits (d8)

1	My tastebuds are not arranged like a human’s. I often gag when eating human delicacies.
2	Everybody I meet thinks I have a strange obsession with a particular otherworldly race.
3	I think human cities are hideous, even though I have nothing to compare them to.
4	I frequently treat my friends to lengthy moralising lectures based around my (very unusual) values.

6	I have inherited the godlike confidence of my otherworldly kin.

Ideals (d6)

1	Diplomacy. I have been given the opportunity to bridge the gap between two peoples. I must not waste it. (good)

3	Assimilation. I feel obliged to follow the customs of my adopted culture to the best of my ability. (Lawful)

6	Apathy. I don’t care who I was in the past. I just want to get on with my life. (Any)

Bonds (d6)

1	I watched my children die of old age. No parent should have to go through that.

3	I am usually accompanied by a messenger from my original realm. Only I can see it, and it guides my morality.
4	When I first joined the human world, I had no idea how to behave. The townsfolk thought I was possessed, but a kindly old sage convinced them that he could fix me. I owe him my life.

1	I secretly worry that everyone who finds out who I really am is plotting to kill me.
2	I can’t help thinking of humans as strange or inferior.
