[QUOTE="Anax, post: 2621655, member: 19868"] Hmm. It sounds like my backstory for Hariel may be workable, then? Let me know if you have any suggestions for the rougher edges. It also sounds like Hariel should know Reverend ir'Irandi from before he was shuffled off to be kept out of Flamekeep. That raises the question of military background--it's unclear to me how likely a young woman of sound mind and fit body would be to avoid military service if she was of an appropriate age before two years ago. (Well, to be clear: it seems unlikely that she would.) Should I factor some form of compulsory military service into my character background? (Left brain says: How do you maintain a hundred-year war without having everybody able to serve in the military serve? Right brain says: How do you maintain a country if you have everybody able to serve in the military serve? Middle brain says: Forget about it for now and go have breakfast.) [/QUOTE]
