[RF] Backstories

They're not really "mine", I'm just the custodian, but please use them, good luck with your project!

Can I use your BackstroyDefs for a school project? Thanks in advance!

@rudemario Sorry to chime in uninvited in the discussion, but reading about your predicament, I couldn't help thinking that this mod is worth mentioning if you need to construct your backstory from scratch :

Untested by me, but should work fine in 1.4 since it was built for that version.
Hope this helps.

PS : Love the scenario you came up with.

Appreciate any advice you have, I may just have to give up and go with a tribal backstory to have that unlocked anyway, but I'd really like to write custom flavor text for this character's backstory. I want to start a hereditary royal lineage with the new BioTech DLC so the original "King" I want to gussy up all custom-like, and then maybe make a custom child and adult backstory for his children like "Sophian Royal Descendant" and or "Prepared Royal Heir"

@Zaljerem I also believe Coma Child is a vanilla one. I was going through vanilla backstories using Prepare Carefully last night in preparation for making a new story.

I took a look through the tribal backstories and I can't seem to find any declaration of the Nature Psyfocus becoming enabled. Basically, what I'm after is a way to make a custom backstory. I want to do a Empire Royal family slaughtered/orphan backstory, where the child of a Royal family was the only survivor, and because he was forced to adventure off into the wild during his youth, was able to link naturally to anima trees and can use them to medidate, despite not having a tribal backstory per se. Basically, like, a midworld or ultratech backstory but with the Nature Psyfocus method turned on and a custom backstory blurb of text. Are you aware of any way to do this?

Hi, thanks for the report, I will remove Apocalypse Survivor; as I noted in the description I tried to clean up duplicate backstories, this is from an old mod that needs a little cleanup. Let me know if you find others.

@Zaljerem Question, does this completely replace all of the original backstories (as in, this mod includes all of the original backstories because if it didn't they would be missing)? I noticed under Child Basic that it includes Apocalypse Survivor, which is a vanilla backstory. I'm asking because I'm wondering if removing this mid-playthrough or not having it present when loading a save in the future might break the backstory for a given pawn despite me choosing one of the vanilla backstories and not one of the custom ones this mod adds. I would expect it to just revert to the vanilla listing, but any custom ones to be blank/broken.

Thanks for answering a noob. You're great!

Adds more content.

Stupid question, but does this replace Vanilla backstories or simply add more content? <3
