About:
Roleplay Backgrounds adds many new backgrounds to choose from when creating a new character. It also modifies some existing vanilla backgrounds to either make more sense or expand on their descriptions to make it feel more like a proper background for your character. These new and altered backgrounds may contain perks from higher tiers within their respective perk trees. Although you may have a perk unlocked in a higher tier, it does not mean you won't have to still invest in those trees to unlock the rest.
All of the backgrounds are based in Starfield's lore and world.

Note about author: This was my first ever mod using my old alias for bethnet. My current mods will be released on a different account name "AsteroidLeaf". My recent mod "Collect Your Things And Leave" is posted there! I will continue to update this mod here though, unless I can find a way to merge it over to my current account.
