Sometime in your past, you were at your lowest of lows. You were at the end of your rope, but then a figure from beyond came to you. Either in your sleep or in what you wished was a dream, someone came to you from the void itself to give you a "gift". The Outsider. He became interested in you and decided to give you his mark, which some say has a terrible price attached to it. To this very day it still burns on your hand. But why you? What exactly does the outsider have in store for you? And just what price might you end up paying?

Skill Proficiencies: Arcana and Intimidation

Tool Proficiencies: Navigation tools

You have been branded with the Mark of the Outsider, which has connected you to the void and, in turn, the Outsider. When sleeping or at a shrine to the Outsider, he may contact you and tell you a piece of information. The information is decided by the DM and could be anything such as a name, location, or even a cryptic message.
