Half-Undead
Whether it be from a failed resurrection, or a curse, you exist in a hybrid state of living and death. The hallmarks of your form are pale green flesh, and exposed bone. On a coin, living is Heads, and death is Tails. You are what happens when the coin stands on its side.

Enduring Existence. When an attack would lower your HP to 0, but does not kill you outright, you can instead choose to drop to 1 HP instead, unless the damage is radiant. Once this ability has been used, it can not be used again until finishing a long rest.
