 +BACKGROUNDS
  
 +The setting is a cyberpunk dystopia with magic and dragons set firmly within the year of Shadowrun's
 +2064.
 +
 +Every character had parents who birthed them and people who cared for them until they were able to
 +fend for themselves. In their past, they learned their skills, their abilities, their loves, their 
 +hates, and their virtues (or lack thereof). Some learned magic, some learned combat, some learned 
 +technology and other skills. Backgrounds are considered "living" as they change as the character 
 +develops. In-game events can cause a person to change their outlook on things.
 +
 +Characters also have hobbies other than murder. Many characters hand-wave the income they get from
 +farming autoruns and other things as some other job they get up to on the regular, whether it be 
 +fixing, fashion artist, roboticist, or some other side hobby.
 +
 +Writing all this down can make it easier to reference how your character should behave later. This
 +helps bring the characters to life, and gets away from the numbers and mechanics of the game. The in-
 +game CUSTOMIZE background is only visible to staff, and the in-game editor is of subpar quality at 
 +this time, so it is recommended to use a notebook or your favorite text editor for descriptions or 
 +restrings.
