Dragon Casualty

When the Alduin the World-Eater descended upon Skyrim, you were one of the unfortunate casualties of war. Perhaps you were a humble farmer, your home, fields and livestock burned to a crisp by an awakened Dragon. Or perhaps you were a soldier, pitted against a guargantuan beast of tooth and claw with nothing but a simple sword, whatever your life before that fateful encounter, you were forever changed when you could only watch as your comrades or loved ones were roasted and devoured by a beast of, what you had thought, mere legend. You bare the scars of this encounter to this day, both physical and mental, you only fear that those who died to these terrible beasts were the lucky ones, and you and your fellow Dragon scarred are doomed for a fate worse than death.   Prior to the attack on Helgen by Alduin and the return of the dragons, you were once a citizen or visitor to Skyrim. While the trauma of your ordeal has greatly altered your motivations and perception of the world, your former life still clings to you and colours your mannerisms, behaviors, and outlook on life. Choose one entry on the following table (or roll randomly) to determine your former occupation prior to your scarring. Your choice determines your tool proficiency from this background.

Features

Dragonscarred Your encounter with the Dragons has left you horribly disfigured but mark you as a survivor of the Dragon Crisis. This affords you a measure of fame and notoriety, for those who know of your harrowing ordeal are keen to hear the tale personally, but makes it difficult to disguise your appearance and hide from prying eyes. You can parley this attention into access to people and places you might not otherwise have for you and your companions. Nobles, scholars, mages, and those who seek to ferret out the secrets of the Dova would all be keen to hear your tale of survival, and learn what secrets (if any) you might possess, and/or study your affliction with great interest.
