Apprentice of AHA (TP)

You spent time studying with the archaeologists, historians, and archivists of AHA, the group of adventuring academics who seek knowledge about the nature of Obojima and its past. With your mentor, you pursued answers to one of the island's mysteries. During your apprenticeship, you traveled to one or more of AHA's excavation sites and worked alongside the organization, but never became an official member. Even now, unanswered questions from your time with the group continue to rattle around in your mind.

• Skill Proficiencies: History, Investigation
• Tool Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in an Artisan's Tool of your choice.
• Equipment: An Explorer's Pack, 5 candles, shovel, signal whistle, a journal full of old research from your time as an apprentice, and 13 gold flowers.

Note: If a player chooses an apprentice background for their character, it doesn't mean they are full members of that faction. An apprentice witch, for example, learned under a witch for a time, but it doesn't mean that character was inducted into a coven yet. It does mean that the apprentice had a mentor, though. Work with that player to figure out who their character's mentor or mentors were, and determine what that character's current level of involvement is with that faction.

Due to your time spent in the field you've met or are familiar with many of the intellectuals and creative minds in Obojima's villages.
