Return to Chargen

We do not require backgrounds at all. We find that quality of background does not fully correlate with quality of roleplay. We do recommend that you have a background in mind, but feel free to adjust it after the fact if it would serve future roleplay without clashing with past.

    3. The Wise Counselor
    4. The Brawny Protector
    5. The Mysterious Stranger
    6. The Rebellious Do-Gooder
  5. You're at a coffee shop. Suddenly, two guys bust in with ski masks and handguns. What do you do?
    1. Run for cover.
    2. Charge them.
    3. Record the whole thing on your cellphone.
