Character Background Questionnaire

When coming up with your character, think about the following questions. The answers do not need to be long (like a sentence would be sufficient), but if you should think about them. I may ask you to elaborate on an answer I find interesting and want to work into the game. Also, please no stereotypical "I had no friends and family and lived alone"-type non-answers, please. The point of this is to generate plot hooks. No promises but if you do give me something during this stage that ends up being a plot hook for the entire group, I might throw you extra XP as it gets resolved.
