Child of God

You were begotten by a deity. Whether by purpose, accident, or as part of a prophecy, your birth marked a subtle—or radical—alteration in the world. Raised among mortals, your divine nature was hidden, ignored, or denied, but it cannot remain dormant forever. Your very existence attracts chaos, devotion, or fear.

Languages: Celestial and one of your choice
Equipment: 15 gp, a robe blessed with your progenitor's symbol, a divine relic (either a quill, star fragment, or solid teardrop), a prayer book, a holy symbol, and a sealed letter describing your true lineage.
