Ok, I started creating Rodrigo Vasques. Initial comments.
Very atmospheric, overall I really like where this is going. It's not there yet though...
How many backgrounds are appropriate? Rodrigo spent his childhood as a groom in a noble household. On growing older he gained a position inside the house and eventually became secretary to the Fidalgo himself. Following a scandalous liaison with the Fidalgo's daughter Rodrigo lost his position and was forced to join a company of soldiers as a scribe.
I made that three backgrounds, groom, secretary and scribe/soldier. Is that broadly right?
How many abilities are appropriate? I gave him reading and writing portugese, latin and a small amount of spanish. He can also ride and has learnt basic soldiering. How many skills is appropriate though?
I was a little unsure with other traits as to whether I had to pick from your lists or make up my own. His reason for going to India is necessity, he doesn't like soldiering and he'll never work in a noble household again.
Can you help talk me through creating Rodrigo a little more? Also, how do I assess in all this which things Rodrigo is good at in game mechanics terms and which he is weak at?
Like I said, I really like this. But I need more guidance than you have yet.
