+\subsection{\nameref{gods_codes} \& Background}
+
+Select a Code of belief from \autoref{gods_codes}, then write down where your character comes from.
+\iftoggle{verbose}{%
+ Magical characters often come from Eastlake, near the \gls{college}; elves and the best survivalists come from Quennome; and most will come from Mt Arthur, where the largest cities swarm with guildsmen, servants, and vagabonds of every type.
+
+ See Fenestra's Outlander's Guide for more.
+}{
+ Ask your \gls{gm} which areas and background cultures exist in that world.

+
+\subsection{\Glsentrylongpl{xp}}
+
+Over in \autoref{coreRules}: \nameref{coreRules}, \autoref{xp} you can spend \glspl{xp} to build up your character's other Traits, such as Skills.
+Then select some items from \autoref{goods}.

+Characters each start with one items per Skill level, and each item can be worth 10 \glspl{sp} or less.
+This might include a sword, dagger, a donkey, or anything else worth 10 \gls{sp} or less.
+Have a look at the goods available in \autoref{coreRules}: \nameref{coreRules}, \autoref{goods}.
+If your character has Combat 1, and Caving 2, they can select 3 items.
+
+The player can decide to replace any of these items with a generic item called \gls{adventure} equipment, and decide exactly what it is later in the game.
+\Gls{adventure} equipment cannot be given away or acted upon in any way without stipulating exactly what it is.

+\subsubsection{Starting Money}
+
+The amount of bare money a character starts out with depends upon their Skills.
+Starting money is $3D6-5$\glspl{cp}, which doubles for every level the characters has in a Skill.
+
+For example, a character with Empathy 1 and Tactics 1 might roll a total of 7.
+$7\times2\times2 = 28$, so the character starts out with 28 \glspl{cp}.
+
+\subsection{No Background}
+
+Characters in BIND have no backstory.
+Instead, they spend 5 \glspl{storypoint} to create their backstory, and pull those elements into the game.
+See \autoref{stories} for some suggested stories to spend the points on.
