> # Rogue Trader Character Building Questions

> With the DLC approaching, I thought I would put together a list of 25 OC building questions to ask yourself or have others ask you! Mainly just background stuff, not much in the way of in-game choices, but I hope they can maybe inspire someone or help shift the ol’ writer’s block if applicable 🧭

> BACKGROUND:

> 1. Where are they from? What is their homeworld like? Do they miss it?
> 2. What is their Origin? Who were they before they became a Rogue Trader?
> 3. Do they have a good relationship with their family? Who were they closest to growing up?
> 4. What does their name mean? Is it significant?
> 5. Describe a memory from childhood they think of fondly.

> CHARACTER & CONVICTIONS:

> 6. What is their Conviction? How adherent are they to it? Does it change at all over the course of the game?
> 7. Was there a defining moment in their life that influenced their Conviction?
> 8. What was their Triumph? Do they take pride in it?
> 9. What was their Darkest Hour? How does it affect them today?
> 10. How do they feel about becoming a Rogue Trader? How easily do they take to being the head of the von Valancius dynasty?

> RELATIONSHIPS:

> 11. Who amongst their retinue are they closest to?
> 12. Who amongst their retinue do they clash with the most?
> 13. Are they romantically involved with anyone? Do they wish to be?
> 14. Who was the most important person in their life prior to becoming a Rogue Trader? Is that person still in their life now?
> 15. How do they feel towards Theodora? Had they met before? Were they close?

> SKILLS & EXPERTISE:

> 16. What is their Archetype?
> 17. What are their strengths in combat? What are their weaknesses?
> 18. How do they approach conflict? Do they tackle problems head-on, or is coercion favourable to them?
> 19. Which three skills are of the most value to them?
> 20. Do they have a talent or hobby that would surprise others?

> APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY:

> 21. Do they have any notable markings? Scars, birthmarks, tattoos, etc.?
> 22. Do they have any augmentations? Were these installed out of necessity, or as a cosmetic choice?
> 23. How do they hold themselves? Is the persona they show the world different to who they truly are? Who is privy to the ‘real’ them?
> 24. Do they place value in how their protectorate sees them? Does this sway their decisions at all?
> 25. Wildcard: Share a fun fact, random thought, or headcanon about them!
