A: Round out the character

Fill-in, or roll (or pick) on the Random Character Background Rolls.

With just a few, quick rolls of the dice, we've got ourself a rather interesting background, with plenty of things to embellish. I'll only paste them into the character sheet, as the embellishment isn't part of this sample PC creation.

The background rolls are handy for quick-roll PCs and NPCs; or providing a guide or inspiration if you have writers block.

B: Fill-out any remaining sections of the character sheet

Write up the background and fill out any remaining detail in the character sheet not filled in by preceeding steps.
