TEXT: You are better at something than almost anyone 
  else you’ve ever met. You might be great at alchemy, 
  fantastic at playing an instrument, or peerless at 
  blacksmithing. This has brought you a lot of positive 
  attention. Attention which has distracted from your 
  lack of empathy. Some consider you a talented eccen-
  tric while others might never see past the facade of 
  your excellence. It is likely that the opinions of others, 
  while expected, may not drive you much at all, except 
  as a cover for your less than savory secret life.
  While this background implies an evil alignment, 
  it is entirely possible that a person of lawful good 
  alignment could also lack empathy, and merely seek 
  to do good and obey orders to please others, while 
  going off to pursue untowards hobbies like corpse 
  collection. An lawful good amoral prodigy may likely 
  rationalize these acts as not evil, but for the benefit of 
  man. Consult with your game master about how best 
  to implement this background, and if it is appropriate 
  for the campaign.
  Skill Proficiencies.  Deception, Stealth
  Tool Proficiencies. Any one tool. Your proficiency with 
  this tool is always doubled. This benefit is not com-
  patible with other abilities that double proficiency.
  Equipment. An appropriate tool or tool kit, two sets 
  of forged documents meant for creating a new iden-
  tity, an award related to the tool proficiency, 15 gold, 
  and a black cloak.
   
  Feature: Presumed eccentric/talent
  You are often given the benefit of the doubt when it 
  comes to your activities and lifestyle. This does not 
  absolve you of suspicion for crimes committed out in 
  the open, but it does deter general suspicion about 
  your personal life. Authorities tend not to search you 
  or your possessions, and neighbors or acquaintances 
  describe you as odd but harmless. Your appeals to 
  authority over any presumed guilt are more likely to 
  be heard, and your sentences are generally shorter 
  than normal. You also benefit from a higher level of 
  trust, and can often vouch for the innocence of others 
  in cases where evidence is less than clear cut.
  A function of this feature is also your prodigious 
  talent, which allows the doubling of your tool profi-
  ciency, as noted above.
   
  SuggeSted CharaCteriStiCS
  Your presence goes largely unnoticed, but you have 
  manifested odd traits as a result of having a lack of 
  empathy. While you may exhibit obviously bad traits 
  behind closed doors, you are adept at keeping those 
  behaviors hidden from others.
