Background or Family Background

Image result for left 4 dead movie posters

You’re going to want to name your Survivor
and give him or her a little bit of a backstory. Going along with that backstory,
another reality is you probably weren’t born a Survivor. No,
really. You weren’t. Unless you were born to a family of Survivors,
growing up, you were probably exposed to a Family Trade. Perhaps
you learned your way around a science lab from your father, who was

a chemist (and one of his experiments is how the outbreak started).
Maybe your mother was a billionaire, and your business know-how
is part of why the family company keeps you around (and gains
you access to all those wonderful toys). Maybe YOU were a soldier before
the outbreak. Decide how you came into
your background; any situation where that knowledge might
apply can give you Advantage on Tests where you can put it to use.
Your Game Master will help decide how it will be applicable during
gameplay.

 

 

 

 


BELIEFImage result for left 4 dead movie posters

 

    Finally, Survivors all have a driving principle called a Belief that you will
want to write down. This Belief is a simple statement used as a guiding
force for your Survivor. Your Belief may be, “I’ll always find a diplomatic
solution,” “Money can buy happiness,” or “I let my fists do the talking.”
This Belief is not etched in stone and can be changed or added to with the
approval of your Game Master.
