Inspirited
Nobody knows the true nature of the insane process of creation behind Marionettes, Manikins, and Boguses. Nobody actually knows how Arcimboldos, Nonexistents, and Cloven (or other similar wondrous beings) come to be, or how Malebranches, Seraphs, Paraghouls, and Bartered Ones are respawned in the world.

Is there a greater power behind all this? Or maybe a magic power has gone awry. Why should a living puppet come out of a wooden log, or from the mound of rotten vegetables of a greengrocer in the market? Nobody can answer such questions, except Ternal Father or, maybe, the Fairy Godfather.

Those who spring to life in this way cannot tell if there was ‘something’ before that moment, much like a newborn. Still, they come into this world as adults, in full physical and mental form. The origin of an inspirited’s experiences, abilities, mood, personality, preferences, and notions remains a mystery. And yet, this mystery does not prevent an Arcimboldo or a Nonexistent from using spells and weapons like a normal human who had to spend their whole life to attain that level of mastery. In your face, humans! Take that!

Unlike their kin who have immediately adapted to the world around them and imagined or chosen a different background, the inspirited chose to focus immediately on the conundrum of their nature and developed special proficiencies, such as that in the mysterious Unknown Language, the secret code that hints at the mysteries of creation itself.

Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, Insight
Languages: Lingua Ignota, Racket
Equipment: A leftover from your native place, a strange receipt detailing an unknown purchase, a pouch with 15 sp.

Feature: Unknown Past, Violent Future
A man without a past is a man without bonds and loved ones, but also a man without rivals and enemies. You start with 2 fewer Misdeeds, but all your Misdeeds produce a bounty with two additional coins every time you commit one.

Suggested Characteristics
The very essence of an inspirited is shrouded in mystery and confusion. Many people may treat it normally, but more often than not, people resent those who are “born learned”. Children, on the other hand, always like to know and to play with a “weird guy”. An inspirited shares no common trait with others of its kind. Indeed, they are often very different from one another.
