Backgrounds

Backgrounds have a large impact on both your character's Class and Political Alignment. If you have the question "Does this class make sense for my character?" see if it fits with the background you have chosen. If it doesn't, one of them needs to change.

Being apart of a certain economic and social strata is extremely beneficial in 18th century Japan. Status is everything, and those without it must earn it.

Those who start out wealthier also start with more money.
