You've inherited something many want. Many, except you. It could be an item no one else in your family is alive enough to carry, or a dark gift from a previous adventure you didn't come back from completely intact. Whatever the case, whatever the curse, you carry it with you on your adventure. It's marked you as an outcast, an other...but you still press on, as you know no one else strong enough to carry that weight.
You gain Tokens of Inspiration by surviving and triumphing over what weighs you down. The life you've lived before is far from glamorous, as you've occasionally glimpsed into the darkness to see what stares back. But you've come out the other side, and your continued existence is a testament to your endurance. Infact, one day you may even be able to cure or defeat what cloys to you so. Until then, however...
