[QUOTE="dmccoy1693, post: 3939489, member: 51747"] My typical ideas: Give the character a "day job." In my one game right now, my character is a necromancer, but his family were mead brewers. So I put a few ranks into profession brewing. It doesn't get much use unless the party is in a tavern and we need to distract the bartender while a sneaky character did something. The converse of that is to give a character a hobby. One character was a shop-o-holic. He was constantly broke, but he was also the character that was most informed of the goings on around town. Give the character a "criminal record." Nothing earthshattering or something that makes gameplay difficult later, but something like, repeated jay-walking summons. How does he fight "the man." Not everyone takes up arms to rebel against those in power, but plenty of people will do something small to show their lack of full support for those in power. One character was always cooperated fully with the law, but said "pig" once the cops were out of earshot (no offense to those in law enforcement). [/QUOTE]
