[@Tortoise] My current idea is a mother and her child. Not sure if there will be much magic involved. 
Also, is there a list of the current nations / places? I might not use any of them, but I want to know if there are any already created cities that might house my character's backstory. Good to build on others ideas and all that.

Ah, not yet, alas. That's one of the things I'm working on, down in the "Lore of Alwyne" section, but I haven't had the chance to fill in the Places yet. It's on the to-do list.

Besides, the only places we have thus far would be those mentioned in our Character Sheets. So, if you wanted to read through other player's sheets to see what sort of nations they describe their characters as coming from, you could do so. 

Since you want a city, I might point you in particular to Enigmatik's WIP sheet [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/5485629]here[/url]. Within their character's history, they have described a city of Trist that sounds promising for potential stories. Not to mention that Enigmatik is a good friend of mine, and their ideas are always solid. 

All that said, I would also encourage players this early on in the game to come up with their own nations and places, to help us fill out Alwyne a lil more. So feel free to just create your own; we're still at the beginning of things, after all. All up to you :)
