Why does the char have an illness? Â Family? Inherited? Curse? Poison? War Wound?
Where did that cause come from. Â How does that make them feel? Chronic illnesses are ugly things that take a lot of effort to control and deal with. Â
Why does the char's joy de vivre lead them to fighting and carousing in bars? Â Background? Upbringing? Friends indoctrinated them to it? Â
Why is he happy there instead of -angry and looking for a fight- with a chip on their shoulder?
How'd they get into Mercing? Â Apprenticed to a company? Sold into debt slavery to fight off the debt and just kept at it? Â Guild Recruit?Â
Do they like fighting? Is it just a job? Are they annoyed that it's all they know how to do? Are they trying to get a secondary profession to transition out of professional soldiering?
