Background
You are married, but your spouse has no interest in doing anything but staying at home and working as a tailor.
When you were a teenager, one of your siblings went missing and is presumed dead. The shock rent your family, and it’s
You worked as a small-time thief in your younger days, and spent a short time in prison.
You trained as a teenager to be a leatherworker, and still have a strong connection to your old mentor.
You used to work in a mill, and many of your good friends from that time still do.
Your grandparents raised you and instilled in you a number of folksy sayings and ideas.
As an orphan, you had a difficult childhood, and your entry into adulthood was challenging.
You grew up in extreme poverty, among criminals. You still have some connections with the old neighborhood.
You served as an envoy for a powerful and influential woman in the past, and she still looks upon you with favor.
You have an annoying rival who always seems to get in your way or foil your plans.
You’ve worked yourself into the position of spokesperson for an organization of some importance.
Your neighbors were murdered, and the mystery remains unsolved.
You have traveled extensively, and during that time you accumulated quite a collection of strange souvenirs.
Your childhood sweetheart ended up with your now ex-best friend.
You are a member of a small, secret society.
You are part owner of a local bar, where you’re something of a whiz at creating specialty cocktails.
You once ran a con that cheated important people out of money, and they want revenge.
You used to act in a traveling theater, and they remember you fondly (as do people in the places you visited).
One of your parents was a minor official, with access to many privileges and much information.
Your best friend from your youth is now a traveling merchant, and you run into her from time to time.
