WH7th/Backgrounds
Everyone comes from somewhere. Character's Background dictates where they hail from, and how it affected their formatting years. Background provides three things - first, 5 points worth of Skills. Second, it grants access to a list of Quirks, and player can select one of them. Third, it also reduces cost of acquiring some of the Advantages
Death World
You come from a world where everything and their dog tries to kill you, eat you, or at least maim you (or sometimes, all of the above). People from such worlds tend to be rather tough, paranoid, and quite trigger-happy, but there is not much things left in the galaxy that they wouldn't be able to kill if needed.
