Something in your past justifies that you have a particular Feat.
You gain one free General Feat or Prowess of your choice, even if you don't meet the prerequisites or if this Feat is forbidden by your Archetype.

For example, if you grew up in the streets before being adopted by a rich Aristocrat, it makes sense for you to have the Outlaw Wisdom Feat although your Archetype is technically Aristocrat.
Or if you have witnessed some horrors in the past or if your family has a long history of being cursed, it could make sense to have the Handicap (lost faith) Feat etc...
If accepted by the Game Master, you may even have access to a Dark Feat.
Note that this feat doesn't have to be taken at character creation and at your Game Master's discretion it is acceptable to flesh out your background later in the campaign.
