Backgrounds

HOMELAND

Are you from Earth? If so, what nation? Did you grow up in a single place, or did you move around a lot? Are you from a metropolitan area, or did you live in a suburban or rural area? For the most part, Humans still identify themselves by what nation they are from, and old national rivalries still run deep. If you don’t have a nation in mind, use the table below to determine where you are from.

  • CHARACTERS FROM EARTH: For characters old enough to have lived through (and remembered) World War 3 or even fought in the conflict, your choice of where you are from will play a large part into your perception of other people in the world. Europeans tend to not trust people from the southern parts of the former USA, Russians and Scandinavians do not get along, and Japan is wary of the continuing rise of China as a global power – just to give a few examples. Where you are from also determines what languages you know.
  • CHARACTERS FROM LUNA: The Earth’s moon began to host full-time colonists in the early 1990s, when advancements in starship drive technologies made it easier to resupply lunar bases. If your character is from Luna, you should determine if you are a 1st-generation “Moonie” (20-40 years old), 2nd-generation “Lunite” (18-20 years old), or an immigrant from Earth (AKA “Launched”).
    • Launched – The most freeform background. What brought you to the moon? Are you a first-waver and old, or a bright-eyed new immigrant?
    • Lunites – Luna has been independent for the vast majority if your formative years - what does this mean to you?
    • Moonies – You saw the fight for Lunar independence first-hand - how did it shape you?
  • CHARACTERS FROM MARS: Mars didn’t see full-time colonists until the early 2000s, and didn’t see native-born children until 2010. If your character is from Mars, you should determine if you are a 1st-generation “Marsie” (18-20 years old), or an immigrant from Earth (AKA “Reddie”).
    • Marsies – Marsies tend to have a lower STR score then people from Earth. Marsies also operate off a 24-hour, 40-minute circadian rhythm, which can lead to some weirdness when comparing them with Earth-dwellers.
    • Reddies – Reddies adapt to the 24-hour, 40-minute day/night cycle on Mars after a few months of using light-therapy.
  • CHARACTERS FROM ALPHA CENTAURI (ALPHA PRIME COLONY): If you’re from Alpha Centauri, then you originate from either Earth, Luna, or Mars (or you’re too young to be a player character in 2031). See those respective sections above. Living in Alpha Centauri means you have greater exposure to Proximans, due to the proximity between the Centauri systems. Proximan would be a logical language choice for you, if you can meet the requirements to speak it (DEX of 14 or higher) and understand it (INT of 14 or higher).
  • CHARACTERS FROM BARNARD’S STAR: Theoretically, your character could have been a Barnard’s Star colonist or colonial officer, or military personnel stationed in Barnard’s Star when the Dweller attack took place. If this is the case, you were either not home when it happened, or managed to flee the assault as one of the survivors. You would originate from either Earth, Luna, or Mars, so see those respective sections above. How did you get away? How has the attack on Barnard's Star shaped your worldview?
