Backgrounds

What Are Backgrounds?
Your Settler's background determines how they grew up and lived before they arrived at their new settlement. This gives you a starting point for how to act once you are in game and for writing up your settler's history. These are fundamental aspects of your character, a part of what makes them unique from others. It is suggested you really put some thought into your character and what kind of a background you want them to have come from.

Beyond the Role Playing part of Backgrounds, they also give you Three skills for free at your first game.
