The Wretched and the Weird - Character Backgrounds

The Wretched and the Weird

The backgrounds are as follows:

The Wretched

Wretch

Worthless. That is what you've been called all your life. You are weak, stupid, and unpleasant to look upon (all stats set to 10). You have never been trained in any useful profession (skills set to 15 or lower), and lack the capacity to learn from others (training from NPCs is permanently disabled). You have no belongings, you do not have a single coin to your name, and you've been dumped into Morrowind without a stitch of clothing (inventory is completely emptied). It will take monumental effort to overcome these challenges, but if you do, you may blossom into something truly great (special abilities unlocked if you survive to level 20).

Drunkard

For as long as you can remember (which admittedly isn't very long), you've needed a drink to get through the working day. You've got a strong stomach (Endurance +15), but on days where you can't get a drink your hands shake (-30 Agility) and you feel awful (fatigue debuff). You could probably kick the habit if you endured the withdrawal long enough, but it would be tough.

Bad With People

People skills have never come naturally to you. Almost every social interaction feels like a struggle (Personality is set to 0 and cannot be increased with level or birthsign), but you have an affinity for working with inanimate objects (+10 Alchemy, Enchant, Security, and Armorer)

Deprived

Poverty and deprivation have been your lifelong companions. You have no possessions, and the years of want have weakened you greatly (all skills and attributes reduced by 10).
