Let's be an urban barb

>>69256051

Boo! I wanted to be poor gutter trash, not a spoiled prat.

Of course, your parents got busy more than once. They are red-blooded barbarians. How many siblings do you have?

>Roll a d20

Rolled 5 (1d20)

>>69256442
It sounds like we live a normal life and became a barbarian out of teenage angst.

>>69256491

You are still in a barbarian world. So, son or daughter of a minor chieftain would do it.

>Also, me dumb and forgot. Roll 1d20 for your own sex
>Give me a 1d3 roll for number of siblings
>Give me a d20 roll for birth order

Rolled 2 + 1 (1d3 + 1)

Fug whoops
So 5,2, and this

>>69256586

Okay, sure.

So you are a boy, and the last born of two other siblings

Damn fools, we're the chieftain reincarnated

>>69256781

Our fraternal twin is a woman. Will we be two-sides of the same coin, or fall into conflict.

The mysterious stranger gave you a sealed bottle, supposedly containing the soul of a great warrior in the past.

What did our parents do, specifically? What allowed them to raise you in wealth?

>Roll a d20

Wait what's this talk of chieftains? Wasn't it an urban barbarian?>>69256051

Rolled 19 (1d20)
