General Character Guidelines
Who are you?
List a handful of things about your character, such as 3 one word traits to guide your RP, what do they value, what are thier fears? What can cause you complications in RP (somewhat xenophobic? a pacifist? and other things that might cause complications) Keep them basic and easy to remeber as an RP guide, and expect your values, thoughts, and complications to change over the course of the game!
Who do you know?
No one is truly an island, everyone has connections, no matter how strong, how frayed, or hostile.
Who out there likes you? Who do you like?
Parents? Friends? Try to think of who your character has relied on in the past, or could in the future, who do you want to share successes with? who would you help if they were in need? Ideally, "the other party members" will be included in that list over time, but this is for your pre-existing connections to the world.
Who out there has it out for you? Who are you out for?
Parents? Rivals? Have you pissed anybody off? Who may have pissed you off? This could be an unknown figure who stole your families ancestral sword, it could be your childhood rival who found success at your cost, Maybe its the local Lord who used backhanded tactics to claim your family home, or are you hunted by a strange cult as a child of some prophecy?
What, if any Orginizations are your part of, interested, or the like?
While individual connections are important, also think about what larger groups you may be connected to? A church, a town, a guild? You can see the Introduction section for prexisting guilds
