User:Bill/Rifts Week by Week/Series One Notes
Pregenerated Characters
All of the pregenerated characters for Series One will be made using one or more of the following books; World Book 31: Triax 2, Dimension Book 14: Thundercloud Galaxy, Rifter 51, Rifter 52. These sources have been selected in an effort to highlight the most recent releases in the Rifts product line. While players who wish to make their own characters are encouraged to use these sources, they are not required to do so as long as the characters are of a similar power level and are able to fit into the background story.
Background Stories
Since this is a drop in game, you may not want to put a lot of time or thought into your background story. The character still has to fit into the series, if only a little. I really only need the following defined for every character.
- How you got to Germany
- Why you joined the special tactical regiments
The easiest answers to these questions are that the character was born in the NGR or one of the D-Bee border settlements and that he or she (or it) is attempting to gain citizenship, but feel free to be creative. Anything else you take the time to write will be read, provided that it's legible, and I may end up incorporating portions of it into the metaplot.
