A character’s background typically reflects the individual training that they have sought out or been given, rather than the common species and culture, which they shared with their first community. One of the most important questions that you can ask when choosing your background is how does this relate to your character’s current adventuring status? Did they leave a job that they loved to adventure out of a sense of duty, or were they forced out of their home? Did they spend their inheritance on adventuring gear in search of excitement, or did they save their meager wages until they could embark on a journey bigger than any that they’ve taken yet? After being dealt their cards in life, how did they make the most of it, or did they set off in search of a new hand? -The backgrounds in this chapter provide mechanical benefits, such as attribute score increases and proficiencies, as well as more roleplay-oriented benefits. As with the other origin sections, you gain the benefits of only one background. The following sections appear in the descriptions for most backgrounds. +The backgrounds in this chapter provide mechanical benefits, such as attribute score increases, as well as more roleplay-oriented benefits.

These tools are explained more [here](https://stormchaserroleplaying.com/stormchaserRPG/Equipment/Tools/). - -If your character would gain the same proficiency from multiple areas, such as a species, cultural, or class feature, they may instead choose a new proficiency of the same type (skill or tool). +Each background increases two of a character’s mental attribute scores by 1 (both of these increases might apply to the same attribute). This reflects the abilities utilised or valued the most by that background. ## Languages Like cultures, your background can also allow you to learn additional languages. Characters are considered to be able to speak, read and write the languages granted by their background. -## Talent -One background [talent](https://stormchaserroleplaying.com/stormchaserRPG/Talents/). A background talent may be a species talent, a skill talent, a tool talent, or other talent marked ᴮᴳ. - ## Connections Each occupation provides examples of one acquaintance, ally, or enemy that has had an effect on your character’s life. This could be a childhood friend, a sparring partner, or even a business competitor. Make sure to include your GM when choosing your connection; you never know when they’ll show back up.
