[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7101250, member: 6704184"] Forum ate my post, so I'll be brief this time. I can't imagine making a character with no idea of their home, family, or ties to the world. That is the same, to me, as saying your character is ready to go without his skills chosen. That character isn't done. Family and home is a sentence. "My parents are farmers from a little town in the Eldeen Reaches, and I'm their youngest." Contacts, maybe a sentence per contact. "Derek Foroen, my best mate from back home, and our war buddy Tonne the Warforged live in Sharn these days. After the war, I traveled with a merchant name Sven." Done. Backstory. "I fought for Aundair, during the war, as one of the few indipendent Artificers, but I always considered myself a Reacher, not Aundarian. Since the War, I've taken odd jobs to save coin, and hopefully open an apothecary someday." Also takes care of motivation, though the player went further and added, "Khorvaire can't take another war, not in my lifetime. We have to figure out what The Mourning was, but we also have to find a way to promote genuine, lasting peace. If that means taking down Aurelia and replacing her with someone who wants peace, so be it." [/QUOTE]
