Haunted One

Haunted One is a character background unique to the Dark Urge with inspirations themed around embracing (or sometimes resisting) The Urge.

“

A wicked moment, person, or thing that cannot be slain by sword or spell haunts your mind and flickers in your peripheral vision. You carry it wherever your adventure takes you - or perhaps it carries you.
