I'd like to know what can I improve. Some stories are short, others a bit long, I mean, not everyone can be a super-brilliant infantry commander because that would be incredibly boring. Just like I can't make everyone good or bad because that's not storytelling at all!

Do you think some stats would be better in a different way? Do you want me to revise any stories that feel cheap or out of place (whether due to lore or any other reason)? Just comment! If I have time, I want this to feel as much like a community mod as possible.

English is NOT my first language. And while I have some experience writing, I can't see it the same way a native speaker does. Again, don't hesitate to tell me if I could write something better.

Thank You!

EDIT: 06/04/25:

I'd like to hear your thoughts on whether you prefer longer stories (no longer than the prison guard one. I don't plan on writing anything longer than that. It already felt too long to me, but I got carried away while writing it. Anything one word longer than that would just look bad in the game) or shorter ones, more in the prevailing vanilla style. If you look through the mod files (or maybe you'll notice just by reading them in-game) many of the earlier stories are very short. Well-written, but short. Later on, I started getting more confident about writing longer ones because I felt they really added to the immersion. There are backstories with complex motivations or situations that just don’t feel right if written too briefly, but most of the last characters I wrote could have been done in less with no problem. In fact, that’s part of why I put them on the cover, so people wouldn’t be disappointed with what to expect from the mod. Most of the ones I did not shared in the screens, I take pride in saying I stuck faithfully to vanilla-style writing.

And that’s where I wonder what people would prefer. The main issue with writing a very long story is that it can make the pawn feel like a “hero” or something “unique,” when that might not be the intention. I think the best way to approach this isn't through a patch or a rework, but rather by reading their profession or “achievement” (for example, survivor) and keeping that in mind when the backstory starts to feel like a chore to read (Assuming you've read it many times, for example). The backstory is there to set the scene, but ultimately, what matters more is the experience someone might get out of that setting (I hope that makes sense).

EDIT: 08/04/25: Since I didn’t get any feedback, I started writing short ones again. It may sound crazy, but that’s actually more of a challenge most of the time. You have to be interesting with just a few words. Think of it that way.
Long stories are just too invasive. Like I mentioned in the main comments, the AGOT's Dog backstory will be my new character limit (around 800–900, and set the standard to even less).

EDIT: 12/04/25: I've decided to change many of the disabled work tags so pawns are now simply very bad at those tasks, rather than completely incapable. I'd appreciate any feedback on this, since I know a lot of people dislike having pawns with entirely disabled work types.
From now on, disabled work tags will be much rarer.

EDIT: 17/04/25: I'm thinking of a new system. Backstories will have a rarity value, and it will be possible to get pawns with skill bonuses above +8, going all the way up to +10.
They'll be very rare to appear, but that's precisely what will reflect their status.

Common: +0 to +2 in skills
Uncommon: +2 to +4
Rare: +4 to +6
Epic: +6 to +8
Legendary: +8 to +10

I know this change might not be to everyone’s liking, but it helps me a lot with balancing and allows me to expand my backstory design skills in a clearer, more realistic, and deeper way.
Remember that some vanilla backstories already grant +10 in certain skills (Assassin has +10 in ranged and melee if I recall correctly).
If this is really annoying for someone, I could to a regular backstory mod keeping it with skills under vanilla, or with no "rarity" system.
