I've played a lot of games here on ENW and also CM and generally you will find a lot of people will just play what they want even if it overlaps with someone else. In most cases, it doesn't matter at all, especially when you have a great GM (which we do)!I've played games with all rogues, I'm currently in a game with mostly pirates and Kira's other game  [MENTION=2820]Fenris[/MENTION] and I are both playing rogues... all these have very similar backgrounds but there is so much wiggle room inside the classes. There is a lot of difference between an illusionist and a necromancer yet they are both wizards. Spell and skill choices, along with the personality you choose makes everything! Now, admittedly I don't know much about 5e Warlocks so I do not know how much overlay two of them might have - though I would think their pacts would make a huge difference. They still have choice of skills and personality and possibly feats and what have you so there should be enough room to make more than one work. Similarly, since our (yours and mine) characters are family and we are starting off in the same exact "normal" situation as people living in middle class suburbs, there is and should be overlap to our backgrounds. Dad was in the military and is a Veterinarian and Mom is a Pilates instructor are both different within the same confines. That they have kids who both play sports seems reasonable.You mentioned Terry being a bully (or former bully, that is unclear?), a college senior who got kicked out of school so is a former football player and is currently working at a fast food joint. How old is he, 21ish? Brad is listed as charming, affable and currently playing high school football in the town our family just moved into - Chesterfield, Mass. He's probably 16ish. While they have football in common their characters actually sound pretty different to me with the football (past and current) being the similar thing. Unless there is something else I'm not seeing?I don't mention all this to argue. I bring it up because if you will stick around to play PBP here you will find a lot of crossover from a lot of players and some won't be too nice about it. I have no doubt  [MENTION=2820]Fenris[/MENTION] would change his background, especially if [MENTION=6755061]Kiraya_TiDrekan[/MENTION] wants him too, but what exactly is acceptable here? Can he play soccer or basketball? Or does he not have to play sports in high school? Someone please clarify that part. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
