I actually like the way that it's set up. I don't need some well-detailed backstory set in stone.
I typically come up with a concept at character creation without deep-diving into it so that I have some direction and purpose for each playthrough.
I love the idea of being the "everyman" person. We're not the only special snowflakes with tadpoles. We just happened to run into some others who have interesting stories.
I like to think that I'm not "the chosen one" as much as I am just a person trying to do their best in extraordinary circumstances.
I also like to think that there are other small bands of people coming together to try to survive, just like my party is, that we never even come across.
Because of this, it feels more personal to me. It's my story and my adventure, and even if it's not entirely unique, it's unique to me and that's what matters.


I don't want to fall to bits 'cos of excess existential thought.
