Character Creation, Part 2: History

20 Questions & Backstory, and 9 NPC's.

There are other way to earn bonus Hero Points. There are by answering the 20 Questions and writing a brief backstory. And/or creating 9 NPC's. You get 10 HP (or 10 Experience Point if completed after Hero Creation) for each.

20 Questions & Backstory
Answer the 20 questions and write a page or 2 Backstory, to my satisfaction. If you have any Backgrounds include how you got that background. Provide as much detail as you can. Give names of people and Places. The more info you provide the more points you get. (Max of 10)

9 NPC's
Create 9 people (or more if you like) that have had a significant impact on your life.

3 of them are Friends. Maybe a family member or a close friend. Someone that would walk through fire for you, and you would do the same for them.

3 of them are Contacts. Someone you can trust, but are not a friend. If forced to choose between you and their own hide, they'd probably choose the latter.

3 of them are Enemies. This is someone you've wronged, or at least they think you've wronged them. They don't like you and you probably don't like them as well. It's not necessarily something huge that will cause them to set aside all of there activities to plot your demise
(Although if you have the Nemesis or Vendetta background they could). But if you were to cross paths with them, don't expect a warm reception.

The more info you provide the more points you get. (Max of 10)
Also when an NPC of your's shows up in game you receive 1 bonus XP for that session.
