Just how evil is she? What does his dating profile look like? Where did she get that scar? What does he want for his birthday?

With fill-in-the-blank narratives, prompts, and fun activities to help you customise your character at the start of the game, or build out your backstory as you play, The Ultimate RPG Character Backstory Guide will help you fully imagine your character and bring them to life for the ultimate gaming experience!
