You were born in space and have lived there your whole life. Whether you made your home on a space station or with your family traveling amongst the stars, before the start of this journey, you had never stepped foot on real solid ground.
How your life went up until this point is up to you. Were you the child of a merchant in one of the huge space stations that dot your quadrant of the galaxy? Did you grow up on a salvage ship in which you barely scraped by? How has this life affected you? How are you handling the prospect of being planetside?
