Though you can choose any common background for your character (including the ones starting on page 60 of the Core Rulebook; the criminal background is particularly appropriate), the following new backgrounds are designed specifically for the Pantheon Rising Adventure Path. You can use these backgrounds to inspire personality traits and details that tie your character to Alkenstar.

Additionally, each of the following backgrounds includes a reason for your outlaw status and an indication of which faction in Alkenstar is to blame. It is up to you to decide how that affects your character and whether you want revenge or not.

Banished Brighite
Framed in Ferrous Quarter
Hung-out Hustler
Inexplicably Expelled
Rift-Rousted Radical
Snubbed-Out Stoolie
Wanted Witness
