(a big city, small town, raised by wolves, etc)* Training: How did you learn most of your current skills and abilities? (taught by someone, self taught, etc)* Relationships: What is his relationship like with his family and where are they? Close friends? Mentors?* Motivations: In two sentences or less, what are your current motivating impulses (i.e. money, love, revenge, adventure, fame, finding/rescuing your mother, etc)* (for higher level starting characters) Reputation: What types of things did you do to attain your current level of power and influence (i.e. you are starting at higher than 1st, for those past levels, what did you do: fight wars, destroy cults, rescue a queen, etc) or any pivotal sort of moments in your life that truly shape and define who you are?sometimes if i'm going for a particular theme i might ask for something specific in addition... for instance, if i wanted to base a campaign around PCs stopping their nemeses I'd ask* In two sentences or less, describe why he’s your nemesis (or rival). Does your nemesis know you and this is a very personal thing? Or are you just some nameless guy that your nemesis has wronged somehow. And what did he do to draw your attention?* In two sentences or less, what motivates your nemesis (money, power, love, etc) – it need not be something world-altering, and maybe it isn’t even a problem for other people.  It’s just something that somehow puts this person in conflict with you. (he runs around libraries putting books on the wrong shelves as a demonstration of his love for chaos, while your OCD makes your brain hurt every time you books not in Dewey decimal order …)* What race/monster might he be, and what’s his name?* What power would he be most likely to use (weaponry, divine power, arcane magic, primal forces, psionic attacks, etc)* What type of henchmen would he typically use (lizardmen mercs, summoned undead, human thugs, etc)</blockquote>
