You come from a poor family and are bound to a plot of land owned by a noble. Here you worked in the fields all day or in a type of hot factory slaving away. As a serf you were subjected to a squalid lifestyle making the most of what you had and sometimes relying on prayer alone to put food on the table another night. As you make your character ask yourself does your character still live on the plot of land sneaking away unnoticed as to not be punished? Or have you broken free from your lords or ladies' estate another way?
