Amnesia

(Severe Unfavorable Trait)

A character with this trait has a big hole in their memory of their life, activities etc. that lasts for months or years. It may be the result of an accident, psychological trauma, magical accident or deliberate magical tampering with their mind.

The secret of which and how and what happened, and repercussions it will have in game, is up to the GM. Generally amnesia does not affect the actual skills of a character, though it is possible that they may not even know who they are. It may include some little bits of memory, or later Nightmares or their past coming back to haunt them.

The character may also have some unknown lesser problems associated with the Amnesia that they don't know about... such as phobias, debts owed, favors owed, enemies, etc. The GM will reveal them when the GM is ready to play out this story trait... though it may take a very long time to come to fruition.

This trait is inappropriate for a character with lots of contacts, Eidetic Memory, Meddling Relatives etc.
