<aside> <img src="/icons/circle_pink.svg" alt="/icons/circle_pink.svg" width="40px" /> Background Options

• Every story has a beginning. Your character’s background reveals where you came from, how you became an adventurer, and your place in the world. Your fighter might have been a courageous knight or grizzled soldier. Your wizard could have been a sage or an artisan. Your rogue might have gotten by as a guild thief or swindled audiences as a jester.
• Choosing a background provides you with important story cues about your character’s identity. The most important question to ask about your background is what changed? Why did you stop doing whatever your background describes and start adventuring? Where did you get the money to purchase your starting gear, or, if you come from a wealthy background, why don't you have more money? How did you learn the skills of your class? What sets you apart from ordinary people who share your background? Thinking about how the background informs your character can be super helpful in developing their personality!
• Don’t forget each background comes with proficiencies, languages, and starting equipment! If you need help detailing things like that on your character sheet just let me know! Also, you don’t have to use the suggested characteristics table - you can take inspiration from theses tables OR you can create your own options for things like personality/bonds/flaws/etc!
• This is a non-exhaustive list. I included the options that make the most sense flavor-wise, but if you want to use any 5e background or have an idea for something that isn’t listed here I will try to find an option to accommodate you!
