 ===== Character Backgrounds =====
-Every character generated in EXODE will have a background.  Some character cards already have a background trait on them (e.g. Drachian) and will always generate a character with that background which cannot be changed.  Character cards without a background trait will be assigned one randomly from among the current choices.  Background traits come with important modifications, both positive and negative, to a character's skills. Note that additional traits and even background-specific equipment are possible as well.

-During Crew Registration you are allowed to investigate your crew's skills and backgrounds. If you choose to investigate a background not specified on the character card, you may then have it randomly redetermined to a guaranteed different background for a significant number of upgrade points.

-Currently, there are 21 backgrounds  implemented in EXODE -- seven "General World" backgrounds, nine very specific "Special" backgrounds, and five "Exterior Worlds" backgrounds.  Both the "Special" or "Exterior Worlds' backgrounds also serve as factions" while those with a "General World" background will also be given one of the seven faction overlays as detailed [[factions-general|here]].
