    Thought I'd throw these up here in case anyone joins the game at a later date, and so people could contribute suggestions for more questions.

    • What is your character’s name? Does the character have a nickname?
    • Who is your mentor and what is her rating?
    • How did you meet your mentor?
    • What is your tradition and what does being part of that tradition mean to you?
    • How did you arrive on the island?
    • How long have you been on the island?
    • Do you have any contacts/allies on the island? If so who?
    • What other backgrounds do you have and what is their justification?
    • What is your birthday?
    • What does your driver’s license say your birthday is?
    • What was your upbringing like and how was your life different from normal peoples? Remember to keep magic coincidental.
    • Describe your awakening.
    • What are your nature(your heart) and demeanor(the face you put forward)?
    • Does your character have a secret?
    • Where on the island is your character living?
    • What is one strong memory that has stuck with your character from childhood? Why is it so powerful and lasting?
    • How did your character acquire her talents skills and knowledges and how does she use them, this is especially important for stats over 4
    • Is there anything that your character can’t/won’t do?
    • What foci do you use?
    • What foci do you always have on you?
    • How does your mage use magic?
    • What specialties does you mage have for stats over four?
    • How do you interact/deal with the mundane world?
    • What are your characters goals and motivations(very important, this allows me to mold story to fit your characters)


    And my contribution:

    • Explain your Merits/Flaws.
    • What is your "usual" at Marty's?
    • What does your average day consist of?
    • What does your character smell like?
    • What is your greatest fear?
    • Do you have any family on the island (not accounted for with backgrounds)?
    • Do you have a Motto/Credo/Catchphrase?
