Whether you're an experienced thespian at the gaming table (if we're using those again by the time you read this) or you're brand new to a pen-and-paper game, use the interview questions within this book to present a well-rounded individual. There's nothing wrong with the orphaned street urchin or wandering nobleman, but you can make these people dynamic and interesting with multiple roots and branching personalities.
