Acolyte
Whether you were an orphan or you were abandoned, you ended up in the “care” of a group that trained you in martial arts. This could be a criminal organisation, mercenaries that specialise in assassinations, or a religious order that valued the discipline that martial arts brings.
The skills you practice have honed your body and mind, not your social adjustment, nor your understanding of technology or culture. If you take this background it must be your first, and you can only take it once.
