Backgrounds define what has a character been up to during their early life, childhood and early adolescence
Each Background give to the character 3 1st rank skills relevant to the background (choice out of some) and a set of relevant tools and/or equipment.
For example the Apprentice, Smith background ("Son of the Smith") awards 1 rank in Craft - Blacksmithing, 1 Rank Endurance, 1 Rank Athletics and a set of smithing tools including a hammer, tongs, a small book of very simple recipies, leather gloves and a leather apron.
