The lives of vexed heritage characters are defined by their defiance of a supernatural connection to extraplanar creatures or cosmic forces. Characters of this heritage are often a “culture” of one person. You have spent your life trying to break free of the forces that have a grip on you.

You might have been claimed by a powerful outsider at birth, haunted by whispers in your dreams, or found yourself the inheritor of an ancient blood debt. Regardless, something or someone has a plan for you, and your life has been characterized by running from its influence.

Most vexed characters suffer in self-imposed solitude, burdened with shame and fear of their foretold fate. Many such vexed spend their lives fleeing from their supposed destiny. Others seek answers that can free them from forces that hunt them. Though active communities of vexed are rare, some occultists and scholars take keen interest in the circumstances surrounding such people’s lives.
