THE STORY:
This step reflects your character’s origins — where you were born and how you spent your formative years, from childhood into early adulthood. This stage includes family and school as well as early vocational training, academic studies, and early life lessons.
In most cases, your starting morph indicates the one with which you were born. Characters with more advanced morphs were either genecrafted, modified as an embryo, or underwent gene therapy as a child to incorporate traits common to current morph models.
