Chris made his character today and expressed that he was chuffed with it. All-in-all it took us around 2Hrs to make it, but to save you guys some time, we've opted for the siblings approach. Therefore this will be your collective background, some are Chris' ideas and others are just "fillers":
You all grew up in a small rural community in Pennsylvania, your parents originally had 10 (!) children (the maximum possible), but due to deceases and such, only six of you survived. Your father had a gambling problem, causing the family grief and hardship, and died a few months back. The times became even tougher after his demise, and for varied reasons you decided to spend all of your lifesavings and move out to the Shattered Frontier in search of a better life.
Your sister Beatrice is 24 years old, so unless anyone of you are older than that, you've all experienced hand-me-downs from your older siblings (the first and second born will get more money at the start, implying inhereted money). Her moonshine is widely acclaimed as the best hooch in your homecounty, maybe even the state and she's very good with anything with an edge that can be thrown or using a bow & arrow.
Therefore you all will copy Chris' background info and get two Tallies in Agriculture for free (parents livelyhood).
Recommendations are that you play some of her brothers, but any gender is ultimately up to you.
As I explained to Chris, you've spent almost your last dollar on getting across the country to this place, a journey that's taken you a good few weeks, months even. Now here you're left to your own devices, each one of you are having just a few dollars in pocket, enough to see you through the next couple of days but beyond that? Who knows.
Also, it get's a bit tedious travelling all this way, so the male characters (at least, female if you want to) have let themselves loose in this community the night before. Things got rowdier than intended and therefore they'll wake up in the village jail, hungover and maybe a bit ashamed of themselves.
See you tomorrow.
