+\chapter{About Characters}
+
+Characters can include adventurers, towns people, and ``intelligent 
+monsters.''\footnote{This probably needs to be expanded or clarified.} 
+
+The adventurers are human as I understand it, though potentially could be 
+expanded to other types of creatures, with different way of interpreting the 
+world.
+
+While I am between sessions, I have been listening to an actual play on 
+YouTube, from Chaosium, and there are Trolls, who I would consider to be 
+characters under this understanding.
+
+Most of what I'm talking about will probably be player characters (PCs), 
+and non-player characters (NPCs), who might play along with the PCs 
+adventurers.
+
+Initially I want to talk about the creation of characters, as that is the
+process that I am currently following.

+\chapter{Character Creation}
+
+This has been a more involved process than I expected, but a big part of
+why that has been the case, is because I haven't done any of this while
+directing it with other people.
+
+I have created characters in other systems, either on my own, or with 
+someone else leading it as the game master.  That ends up being a 
+different process.  
+
+This very much has been a more ``methodical'' approach, in part because
+not knowing the process in any way, it has lead to me having to read it
+on my own.  
+
+\section{Steps}
+
+This brief description is almost directly from {\it RuneQuest Roleplaying in 
+Glorantha}(Table \ref{char-create-steps}):
+
+\begin{table}
+    \begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
+        \item {\bf Step 1: Homeland.} chose your adventurer's Homeland.
+        \item {\bf Step 2: Family History.} Develop the family history for 
+        your adventurer, and their own history prior to their life of 
+        adventure.
+        \item {\bf Step 3: Rune Affinities.} Choose your adveturer's Runes.
+        These quantify your adventurer's connection to specific Runes and 
+        drive personality and social impulses.
+        \item {\bf Step 4: Characteristics.} Determine characteristics and 
+        secondary attributes.
+        \item {\bf Step 5: Occupation.} Choose your adventurer's occupation.
+        \item {\bf Step 6: Cult.} Choose your adventurer's cult.
+        \item {\bf Step 7: Personal Skill Bonuses.} Allocate personal skill
+        bonuses.
+        \item {\bf Step 8: Other Information.} Give your adventurer a name
+        and determine other information needed, such as gender, equipment, 
+        family heirloom, et cetera.
+    \end{itemize}
+    \caption{Character Creation Steps\cite{rq-rig} p. 23}
+    \label{char-create-steps}
+\end{table}
+
+Homeland is important in RuneQuest, as it helps to determine a variety of 
+cultural aspects such as customs, language, and religion.  In my playing 
+at this point, I am not restricting, or recommending a given homeland.  
+
+The homelands that exist in the world of RuneQuest are: Sartar, Esrolia,
+Grazelands, Prax, Lunar Tarsh, and Old Tarsh.  
+
+My character is Old Tarsh.

+\chapter{Character Information}
+
+This may have multiple characters in it, as I create more, but for now 
+I am creating a single character while I am working with my friend to
+have them create a character along side me.
+
+I may have the information for their character added, if they desire
+to share that here.
+
+\section{First Character}
+
+I'm currently calling this, ``First Character,'' as I have nothing
+further to say about who this character is.  As I develop the character
+this may change.
+
+\subsection{Homeland\cite{rq-rig} p. 26}
+
+---\footnote{Most is from this info, but will use my own wording, and expand as character develops.}
+
+This Character is from Old Tarsh, they are centred on the foothills of 
+Mount Kero Fin, and refuse to acknowledge the Lunar dynasty of Tarsh.
+
+They remain loyal to the Shaker Priestess.  They were once the core of 
+the Kingdom of Tarsh.
+
+The tribes of Old Tarsh have become marginalised, and survive by hunting
+and raiding.
+
+--- Cultural Skills --- I have not looked at these yet.
+
+--- Full Writeup --- Again not looked at.
+
+{\bf Cultural Stereotype:} Old Tarshites are poor, but proud and fierce.  
+
+They view themselves as the rightful rules of Tarsh, and see Lunar 
+Tarshites as temporary usupers.
+
+They are notorious for being both vengeful and indulgent.
+
+{\bf Common Cults:\footnote{not determined cult at this time.}} Maran
+Gor, Orlant, Ernalda, Odayla.
+
+{\bf Suggested Occupations:\footnote{not determined yet}} Bandit, Herder,
+Hunter, Warrior.
+
+\subsection{Passions}
+
+These at this time, are largely determined by the homeland, though some of
+the passions we've determined have come from going through the family 
+history.
+
+\begin{table}
+    \begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
+        \item {\bf Love (family):} 60\%
+        \item {\bf Loyalty (clan):} 60\%
+        \item {\bf Loyalty (Shaker Temple):} 60\%
+        \item {\bf Devotion (????\footnote{I didn't figure out what it 
+        was to yet}):} 70\%
+        \item {\bf Hate (Lunar Emprie)\footnote{changed from Chaos to 
+        Lunar Empire filling earlier history out}:} 60\%
+    \end{itemize}
+    \caption{Character Passions}
+\end{table}
+
+Much of what I have done to this point, has been focused largely on 
+allowing the ``dice to determine the outcomes.''  Ie. while I could 
+have decided to create a character that felt like a character which
+was designed for me, I have based it largely on the rolls of dice.
+
+Part of my reasons for doing the rolls of dice, rather than trying
+to create a character to suit me, this may be a character that I can
+feel comfortable giving to a player to play, or one which I'll play
+as an NPC.  
+
+\subsection{Family History}
+
+This has two options if you do not wish to go through the entire 
+process from 1561 to 1625.  One is to simply skip the section, the 
+other is to start at 1622, only looking at your own history.
+
+While doing this in person, I started at 1622, but am going to round
+that out for this character starting at 1561.
+
+\subsubsection{Grandparent's History}
+
+This refers to the ``most important grandparent,'' and it may potentially
+be expanded to look at the other grandparents I would think.
+
+Occupation: Warrior
+
+\subsubsection{Year 1561}
+
+Grandparents are born.\footnote{It seems odd that everyone's grandparents 
+get born the same year.}  
+
+\subsubsection{Year 1582}
+
+---\footnote{that's a big skip.}
+
+\begin{table}
+    King Tarkalor and his wife the Feathered Horse Queen, went to war 
+    with the Lunar Empire to ade the old Tarshites.  They were aided by 
+    Praxian and Esrolian mercenaries and volunteers.  The Red Emperor 
+    personally lead the Lunar Army and when the armies met at the Battle 
+    of Gruzzket Peak, the Lunar Army swept the field with their vastly 
+    superior magicians.  Both King Tarkalor and his Queen were killed.
+
+    Of special note your parents were born this year.
+    \caption{Year 1582 History\cite{rq-rig} pp. 29-30}
+\end{table}
+
+{\bf Events:}
+
+Grandparent was present at the Battle of Grizzly Peak, and was killed by
+Lunar spirits.  Gain Hate (Lunar Empire)
+
+\subsubsection{Year 1597}
+
+\begin{table}
+    Lunar assassins killed members of the Sartar royal house in the Holy 
+    Country, and many got entangled in the cycles of murder and vengeance.
+    \caption{Year 1597 History\cite{rq-rig} p. 30}
+\end{table}
+
+{\bf Events:}
+
+Grandparent (second most prominent one?) dies in an accident.
+
+\subsubsection{Year 1602}
+
+\begin{table}
+    The Lunar army invaded the kingdom of Sartar with great success, 
+    although at high cost, seizing the supposedly impregnable capital
+    city by force and extinguishing the Flame of Sartar that united 
+    the legendary kingdom.
+    \caption{Year 1602 History\cite{rq-rig} p. 31}
+\end{table}
+
+{\bf Events:}
+
+Participated in Boldhome Campaign, and survived.
+
+Grandparents are, around 41 years old and parents are around 20 years old.
+
+\subsubsection{Interim Years 1603-1604}
+
+\begin{table}
+    After the Boldhome Campaign, the Lunar Empire dominated Dragon Pass.
+    Old rivalries reignited, and the Lunar authorities encouraged the 
+    tribes to kill each other off.
+
+    1604 is the year of the adventurer's birth.
+    \caption{Years 1603-1604 History\cite{rq-rig} p. 31}
+\end{table}
+
+{\bf Events:}
+
+Uneventful, things progress as per usual.
+
+\subsubsection{Year 1605}
+
+\begin{table}
+    A major thrust by the Lunar army to invade the Holy Country, striking 
+    heavily populated Esrolia.  Countering with magical strength, the 
+    god-king Belintar stopped the Lunars by inflicting a decisive and 
+    humiliating defeat.
+    \caption{Year 1605 History\cite{rq-rig} p. 32}
+\end{table}
+
+{\bf Events:}
+
+Another normal year.  Nothing of note has happened.  
+
+\subsubsection{Parent's History}
+
+Occupation: Bandit (16\%), Hunter(10\%), Herder(43\%), Bandit(57\%), Warrior(19\%)\footnote(just some ideas as to what it might be, life events may change this.)
+
+\subsubsection{Year 1608}
+
+\begin{table}
+    The Lunar Empire invaded Prax.  The Lunar army hopped from oasis to
+    oasis but was raided and harried until it accepted peach before being 
+    allowed to enter the Paps.  Despite propaganda, this was a nomad 
+    victory.
+    \caption{Year 1608 History\cite{rq-rig} p. 33}
+\end{table}
+
+This was a normal year, nothing really of note happened.
