BACKGROUND
    He is a royalty of some big country....
     
      Background is ...well...your background . your family that sort of stuff. for those familiar with rpg , this is a mismatch of all perk , privilage , quirks etc .
      all player choose their backgorund on the basis point of 10 , and some of the player character got some background for free
      there is both negative background and positive back ground
      while you have to pay for the positive background , you do gain some backgorund point by taking negative backgrounds
      however the limit of gained point is that of 10

      background iis also could be change through the course of an adventure
      whether it is gaining an enemy or losing a contact , it is all depend on the action of the character
      althought gaining or losing a background ,negative and positive , would take an adventure or two to achieved it
      and of course it is all up to the gm to see how it all turn out >
