Backstories Update

I would like to have everyone's backstories and characters finalized by May 13th (this coming Friday). This will allow me plenty of time to get any potential personal storylines worked into the campaign, and to make sure that everyone's characters/backstories look good. As for what to cover, include:
  • An answer to each of the "questions" posed in the Background Prompt Generator. You may include more if you like.
  • A physical description of your character - height, weight, age, hair color, eye color, skin color, body build. See your race's description for the averages/standards of these.
  • Choose at least one distinguishing feature for your character from this list: a scar, jewelry, clothing, a tattoo, a birthmark, a hairstyle, or a unique posture. You can choose more if you like - be sure to add these to your character's physical description, and briefly describe what makes this feature of your character distinguishing or unique. You can also choose a distinguishing feature not covered here, just make sure to check with me first.
  • If there are any significant NPCs in your backstory (nemeses, loved ones, mentors, etc.) be sure to give them a first name. If you can't come up with one let me know and give me a brief idea of the character, and I'll name it.

In order to speed up the backstory/character finalization process I'd like to meet with everyone for an hour (perhaps longer if necessary) individually to make sure everyone's set to go, help filling in details about a backstory (or perhaps coming up with a backstory), and any other things you may need help with regarding the campaign. Please let me know in the comments section below what time would be best for you!
