I've had more than a few disgruntled types looking for character background generators of late. With that in mind, I'd like to offer you this fine generic background history generator for your very own player character. What any of these results really means in a given campaign will, of course, depend upon the GM who is running it.
All rolls are percentile unless otherwise noted.
Have fun and feel free to tune it to fit your needs. Numbers in parentheses behind entries are money modifiers. Add or subtract them as listed. Index your total on the Money Modifiers table after you make all your other rolls. Royalty of some sort, from lesser to greater as fits the campaign.
