GM Blood's Savage Tide

Game Master David James Olsen

Culture: Civilized CuMod=4

Your character was born and raised in a Civilized culture. You could be from this city or another before you came here. Civilized cultures are noted for Central governments, royal civil engineering, wizards, thieves, naval warfare, and of course taxmen. Examples would be Feudal Japan, or Tolkien's Gondor.

Civilized folk tend to feel more comfortable in the city than outdoors.

Social Status: Comfortable SolMod=0

You were the middle class of your culture.

Next Rolls:

Birth Legitimacy: 1d20+4. If result is 20 or more roll 1d4 as well as a 1d20+4

Ok, Family, roll 1d20+4 for family structure. Then 1d20 for siblings and another 1d20 for birth order.

You grew up with an extended family including:

1d4 Grandparents
1d4 Aunt/uncles and cousins

For each one roll 1d20 for gender and 1d20 for which side of the family they are. (Low male, high female and low father's side high mother's side)

You have 1d4+2 siblings and were a middle child. Roll 1d20 for gender of each sibling. (Low male, high female)

That will take care of Family now for:

Time of Birth: Roll 1d12 for month, 1d30 for day 1d24 for hour and 1d60-1 for minute.

Place of Birth: roll a 1d20 if 17 or higher re-roll 1d20

First sibling was probably Big Brother because you weren't born second! ;)

The noteworthy item (and not an item of note) is that your mother was creative, inventive and artistic.

Mother worked in the fields as a farmer when your father was away on his expeditions. While he brought in good money, there were times he was gone longer than expected and the money got tight.

Ok, finally something a little juicy other than you had a big family, Seems you had a pretty normal life. However now for Significant Childhood Events!

Now this is juicy!

Ok these two events seems to go together very well. I would "interpret" them into a background as maybe all three of you were friends and then starting at the age of 10 the rivalry started for the companion's affection. Maybe it took a few years for it to fully turn into the obsessive rivalry, but when the rival found out the companion was in love with you it turned deadly.

Rival:

Same gender as you. Your rival was a poor person from a civilized-decadent culture.(Past the peak of their prime. People have become jaded. Government self-perpetuating and careless of the needs of the people)

They were a friend up to this point and you two always tried to out do each other in everything you would do. From this point on they were obsessive over you and now when they try to out do you it is to take away your victory and lead you to your destruction. No act is too big or risk to great for them to take to achieve this. In this competition there is only one winner (in their mind at least).

Your feelings toward your rival: Roll 1d8
Rival's exotic personality: Roll 1d20

Companion:

Opposite gender as you. Your companion was from a well to do family and lived in the same place as you. Was a stranger up to this point (maybe just moved to your location at this age) but soon became a loyal friend who would do anything for you, including lay down their life. What you didn't know until it was too late, was that this person was secretly in love with you. They kept it a secret from you afraid you did not feel the same.

Your rival has an unusual behavior tag, and unusual or uncommon type of action or activity he does usually out of habit.

Roll 1d20 to determine the behavior tag, if you roll a 20, then roll 1d3+1 for multiple tags and a 1d20 for each one.

That will round your childhood events, we'll go to adolescent events next:

So roll 1d3 for number of events.

For each event roll a 1d20 for what happens and then a 1d6+12 for age it happened.

Your rival became addicted to Qat, a a mild stimulant and euphoriant when its leaves are chewed, but very addictive.
