Table 1-20: Parents: 1d100 ⇒ 31Oh good, anything below a 50 means my parents are still alive. For our background write-up, lets assume they came to the future with me.

Table 1-21: Siblings: 1d100 ⇒ 312 or less: 1d2 ⇒ 1. We now know we have 1 sibling who is sibling age: 1d100 ⇒ 18 Older than us.

Table 1-25: circumstance of birth: 1d100 ⇒ 23 So we ended up rolling Lower-Class Birth, which is an interesting development for my character as he is a wizard. I wonder how that will play out ;). Reading along, had I gotten an 85, that is Born out of Time. This exactly fits my character as I'm from 900 years in the past! Well, there is no rule that says I can't use both, since we are discussing my time prior to the jump, and now the jump has occurred.

Table 1-26: Parents Profession: 1d100 ⇒ 12. OK, this is just freaking great, My parents were peasants! No wonder I had a lower-class birth!

Table 1-29: Major Childhood event: 1d100 ⇒ 69 Magical Gift. Could this be any more perfect? The book describes this as having found, stolen, or given a magical item. Since we know I'm going to be a wizard, lets call this a Shiroden Totem, which will become my Bonded Object as a Wizard.

So, to summerize what we have from step 1. Born in the Ancient City of Thasilon, our young wizard grew up on the streets of the city, to two peasant parents, who worked hard to provide for him and his older brother. One day, He happened across a small object, he immediately recognized this as a shiroden totem, one that the mightiest of Runelords coveted. It exuded magical energies and so, our young friend took it, in hopes that one day he could turn the Runelords own magic against them.

Table 1-51: influential associates: 1d100 ⇒ 99 Wow, a well-Connected friend! Perhaps in the acadamy where I studied I met this person and trained with them, always helping eachother improve and testing eachother, him being better than me of course, who went on to be an apprentice for a court wizard? Hey, it could happen!

Table 1-52: conflicts: 1d12 ⇒ 6. Neglagence. We caused someone else suffer from our own inaction. hmm... interesting, we also net 2 CP, keep this information handy!

Table 1-54: conflict subject: 1d20 ⇒ 3So, due to our own Negligence, a commoner suffered. Finally we have

Table 1-55: motivation: 1d10 ⇒ 5. Family (3 CP) is the reason! hmm... now for a narrative.

My brother and I were walking through the streets of the city, feeling our bellies rumble from the little food we were given living as peasants. Ahead of us we saw a commotion and noticed a well known commoner arguing with one of the local merchants. Now this merchant happened to be a good friend of our, whom not only we, but people from all over the country would come to see. The commoner started issuing insults and slander against our good friend, but what he didn't know, was that our friend wasn't alone, but our friend didn't know that either! My brother and I though, saw the figure slip through the crowd, his knife drawn and ready to attack. I started to head in and warn the Commoner, but my brother grabbed my arm and stopped me. Better off, he told me, as the Commoner was struck down just as he raised his hand to strike the merchant. Once the Commoner fell to the ground, my brother and I rushed in. The merchant dragged us, and the body, to the back of his shop. That's when I felt the drawing of power. The commoner had about his neck an amulet, shaped like seven pointed star. A Shiroden, symbol of the Runelords, who plagued our lands. This was no meager Commoner, but one of their worshippers. The merchant and my brother could tell I felt the power radiating from the amulet, so the merchant took it, and gave it to me. He told me to learn all I could about the magics of the Runelords, and use it against them to free our people.

With this narrative, how do I think my character would have reacted. I don't think my character would harbor any guilt about the commoner being killed, in fact, once he discovered the truth of the murder, I think he was glad he hadn't stepped in. However, even though he got a magical item and opened up his future to a whole new life, I don't think he enjoyed it, so lets give him no guilt (+2 CP).

OK, so now that the conflict has been resolved, lets determine our alignment. with a total of 7 CP, we need to distribute these points along the two alignment axises, with Lawful-Good being at the lowest end of the spectrum. Good motivates my character through and through, wanting to overthrow the Runelords and bring peace to the land, no matter the cost. This means I'm going to place all 7 points onto the L/C track, giving me a final outcome of 7-0 or Chaotic Good. Normally at this time we would select a religion, but I am going to forgo that for now, as it really isn't important for my character.

Table 1-56 romantic relationship: 1d20 ⇒ 18 I've had a girlfriend or two, but nothing really substantial, I guess I spend to much time with my nose in a book.
