Aaron Griffin  There is a lifepath character creation system, which sort of creates a backstory, but it’s more like an outline of how you got to where you are now. You CAN flesh it out if you wish, but it doesn’t really come with details.

The important thing is that, if you wish some backstory detail to impact your current game, you write that as a Belief. Beliefs are what drive play.

To echo Paul’s post, if you want that fae Mecha to come into play, you write a Belief about it.
