Include as much or as little backstory as you wish.
*However, the more you give me, the more I can work with you to bring your story into the world we create.*
There are a lot of examples of great questions to answer when coming up with your back story, and I’ve linked many videos with help on this topic in the [this channel](https://discord.com/channels/1204631753449275392/1204632697859874888) on our Discord.
Write a story, or a bulleted list - whatever works best for you.
Here’s a list of items that I would prefer you include to help me. Please feel free to expand on this list as much as your storytelling heart desires!
- Character Name/Pronouns
- Race/Class/Expected Sub-Class/Any planned multi-class (*don’t worry, we can change these plans later if you change your mind as you level up and learn more about your character*)
- Chosen bonus non-combat feat and how it fits into your story - available list on the [[Character Creation]] page
- Home Town/Region - is there anything about this place that stands out to you?
- 2-3 NPCs from your past with a brief description of who they are and why they are important to you/your story (*doesn’t have to be positive*)
- Answers to the Session Zero questions (*see below*)
- Your biggest regret/Something that has defined you
- Answers to the Solar Eclipse questions.
- Why did you leave home?
- Why have you decided to become an adventurer?
- What is your current goal?
- How have all of these things lead to you being a part of this caravan?
- What personal item/totem do you carry with you and why/what does it represent?
Have fun!
