Background: Battle Born

[Schwarzbart]

There was a pirate raid exact at the time you where born.

The pirates spare the live of your parents but took all the valuables.

Because you had to help early in your live with menial tasks you gain +1 Strength, +1 Brute Strength.

Somehow the birth trough a fight gave you also a 5% better chance in all Hostile actions.

[CremePudding]

Hm. You probably gain the 5% bonus from being hardened to violence and danger during birth.

 

But what type of background is it?

 

I don't think it belongs in the Station category as there is a Up From Destitution (poor) background already, and it conflicts with Rich or Well-to-Do as if you are from a rich family a one-time robbery doesn't make you poor enough to do chores.

[Schwarzbart]

Now I don't think it necessary conflict with Rich or Well-to-Do as the Luck could have turned in the last years.

It is even more likely that the Luck have turned as you still would have to pay for the tuition.

After some thought maybe this is better:

 

Background: Battle Born

 

There was a pirate raid exact at the time you where born.

The pirates spare the live of your parents but took all the valuables.

This means your family had a hard time trough your first years.

But you build a better endurance (+1) from this hard time.

When you heard the tale the first time you promised to your self that if you ever have the choice to fight or give away everything you own you will fight.

From your training you did afterwards you got +1 Strength and even a 5% better chance with all hostile actions.

[Svinik]

Nice. A pity that there isn't a way of having an interaction penalty with those cursed pirates ;-)

 

Definitely one for those who want some fun roleplaying, let the pirates beware - your time for vengeance comes near!
