Character template, I'll fill this in as I roll.
@Irenaeus you might consider creating a blank template and placing it somewhere in the OP for players to copy/paste. Also, the motivation table incorrectly lists the roll as 2d12 (I think it's supposed to be 1d12).

► Backstory
Kal grew up in a small village on the outskirts of a lord's lands. From a young age he displayed a talent and interest in many things, and an unusual resiliency. Kal never seemed to get sick or grow tired. As a result, the village adults always anticipated that he would be a leading man in the village when he grew up.
Kal himself took for granted the village's expectations, learning its many roles with a placid and even temper. But he had always been a bit of a wanderer, leaving the village to roam both his lord's lands and, as he grew older, the wilds beyond. His parents worried about his being alone, beyond the aid of the village, but also saw the potential for Kal to make a living from his wanderlust. They invited peddlers and other traveling merchants to give him tutelage on the life. Kal learned to fend for himself in the wild, and became adept at avoiding or outsmarting dangerous situations.
Then disaster and tragedy struck. Kal went on a particularly long, days-long hike. When he returned, he found his family farm had been raided. The raiders had apparently been former soldiers on the run from another lord, and their desperado life had led to their violating Kal's mother and sister before slaughtering them all. Filled with rage and despair, Kal left the village, swearing to find each raider and kill them in the most vicious manner possible if it took the rest of his life.
The village had told him there were 6 raiders. Kal had his targets. He tracked down, ambushed, and tortured and killed two of the six raiders before his funds and ability to make money ran out. While locating the third he took his first job as a ruffian to pay for his revenge. Eventually he fell in with a loose network of thugs, swindlers and thieves that helped him get odd jobs. His life in the village was barely remembered. Only his revenge mattered.
After the third raider was located and murdered, Kal fell victim to an ambush led by the fourth raider. The group he was working with was slaughtered to a man, and Kal was left for dead. While laying alone among the bodies of his comrades, Kal heard a voice that told him he was destined for something other than revenge and a lonely death. Kal was told he was destined to serve the voice. He awoke from a swoon sometime later, and to his amazement fresh wounds had healed, with faded scars!
Kal picked up his trusty club and left the scene of the slaughter, to begin a new life of wandering... this time, in search of the voice that had spoken to him and, apparently, saved him from death. Now he is caught between two worlds; his desire for revenge upon the raiders who stole everything from him burns unabated, but he feels a deep obligation - perhaps a longing - to find and serve the voice that saved his life. For now, he still tracks the remaining raiders. But he has tried hard to give up on the life of ruffianism that he took up to support his revenge, instead plying the trades he learned so long ago in his village.
