iCore™ Background Details
The character is, by default, a minor noble. At best, they have their retinue paid for – servants like a groomsman, teamster, etc. They have been given a leg up in the world, but little else. They would be able to borrow against their good name, but they do not have access to fabulous wealth. Social Standing should be used to determine any ongoing and starting wealth, training, and asset options.

Common Cultural Experience
The character comes from an area which has a dominant culture of the race/species and evinces it’s common physiologically and sociologically developed features. As they develop, the cultural norms are ingrained and stay with them in absence of consciously ridding themselves of them (and their benefits).

- Adjustments: +1 Charisma, -1 Strength
- Minimums: Charisma 10
- Maximums: Charisma 21
Open Cultural Experience
Wherever the character grew up, they eschewed the common cultural experience in favor of a more individualistic approach to life. While they are aware of the cultural norms, they chose not to be confined by them and not to benefit from them, and any unconscious behavior that reflects them gradually fades over time. Unless noted, all Archetype options are available.
