Destiny Spreads

In the Player Section of all the Nation books there is a Destiny spread. You roll some dice and you are randomly given a little insight into you characters Past, Present and Future as well as a little bonus. Here's an example of one from the Avalon book. "You come from a very stubborn and headstrong family. Once you decide on a course of action, nothing short of death can change your mind. You receive the Indomitable Will Advantage for Free." Sometimes you get a Skill, Advantage, Background or something else.

Originally I was thinking about not using the Destiny Spread, but I've changed my mind. If you want to use it you may. You'll roll twice for your Past, and choose the one you like the best. Then you'll roll twice for your Present and keep the one. Lastly you roll twice for your Future, but I pick what will happen in your future.

If you need inspiration for a character you can roll the Destiny Spread and see what you get.
