{"name":"Child of Possession","overview":"During your conception, one of your parents was possessed by a powerful elemental or extraplanar spirit, be it through a ritual or as part of a pact that was likely never fulfilled, and a large portion of its power was left in your soul. Your appearance hints at the elemental power that has been permanently implanted within your very essence. If you were made aware of this, it may have influenced the treatment of you from other's or how you viewed yourself and the world around you.","skillproficiences":"Arcana, Nature","toolproficiences":"","lifestyle":"","languages":"Primordial","equipment":"A set of traveler's clothes, 5gp, one trinket from the Elemental Trinkets table, given to you by your elemental parent.","features":"[h4]Elemental Empowerment[\/h4]\r\n[br]\r\nYou gain the power to use the Firebolt cantrip once, and use is replenished after a short or long rest.

Some of these children were born of pacts, and have their own thoughts on the matter, while others were born only due to the agreement of a curious elemental. These children can often struggle with feeling more valuable, powerful, or alienated from others and set out to the world for a variety of reasons.","traits":"\r\n\r\n[table]\r\n[tr]\r\n[th]d8[\/th]\r\n[th]Personality Trait[\/th]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]1[\/td]\r\n[td]If both of my feet leave the ground at the same time, I feel an immense sense of dread.[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]2[\/td]\r\n[td]I like to collect large or rare stones, and can feel the vibrations of these stones; I find them calming.[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[td]I feel most at ease near water large enough to submerge myself in.[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]4[\/td]\r\n[td]I have a tendency to become seasick and uneasy if I am away from any body of water for too many days in a row.[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]5[\/td]\r\n[td]I have a large personality.
