I 'think' Ayvah is correct. Though that wording gives me pause.
To give you an example of what I mean Dark_Ansem:
In the current (VERY EARLY UNFINISHED) game build when making a new character you can chose the Background of "Red Prince" if you do this your character defaults to... well... "The Red Prince" with all the traits, abilities, appearance, and what have you that the character has with no ability to edit or alter it. Essentially "The Red Prince" is a preset character.
This is the same, currently, for all the backgrounds you can select except for "Generic" which basically has no background (you get to chose from 2-descriptors that give you dialog options but that is it).
So currently you either play a "pre-gen" character with an actual background... Or a "Generic" without one.
So I am wondering if we will get "Custom character" (as in the one you make yourself) backgrounds that aren't essentially preset characters or mostly blank slates.
It is why I am asking since the game is really unfinished... so I can't assume one way or the other.
