Stigmatized
Born with “the mark of evil” upon your body, you have spent the majority of your life ostracized by the community you live in. The Otherworldly influence of your heritage is clear to see, and stories about the dark circumstances of your birth have circled you as long as you can remember. Most of them are probably made up of course, but that has never stopped people from anything, and whatever heinous things were said about you probably extended to your family as well.
You have spent your life on the fringes of society with little sympathy from most, safe for the odd traveler that did not know the rumors about you. When making a stigmatized character, consider how the way they were treated has shaped their opinions and beliefs in life. How do you interact with people? Are you spiteful, or maybe simply awkward? Do you want vengeance, or do you perhaps believe the rumors about yourself? What about your family, did they abandon you, or did they stick with you despite the way they would be treated? Who was the community that shunned you, was it just a village, a town, a city, perhaps a religious community? Ability Scores: +1 to one of DEX, CON or WIS
