Not sure why this won't work, maybe I'm missing something obvious, but everytime I try to write in my own custom background story, at the start of the game, it still gives me the generic miner one. The hell....
And since we are on the topic, give me your thoughts on this background story I wrote up. (it borrows a bit from the miner story actually). I tried to fit it to my custom faction's story (United Kingdoms of Anthys, flag is the white eagle with the red bottom and blue top, I think you know where I was going with this) and my characters actual occupation I chose (armorer)
Orphaned by a war long forgotten, Redin was placed under the care of a blacksmith's family. Under the tutelage of his foster father, Redin apprenticed as an armorer. He eventually came to care for his foster family, and gained the respect of his peers as an accomplished blacksmith. He spent most of his days toiling in the forge, and his nights staring up at the stars. He led a humble life, boring at times, but satisfying... until that fateful day when a traveling wizard visited his small town. The wizard commissioned Redin to craft a peculiar item, a crown bearing the sigil of an eagle. Upon completion of the crown, the wizard hid it under his cloak, whispered an incantation, and fixed a crystal shard to the helm as if being grasped by the eagle's talons. The wizard offered the crown to Redin, and placed it on his head. Redin's mind was engulfed with visions of the future and what would come to pass should the Kingdoms of men faulter. Inspired with this revelation, Redin dedicated his life to joining the warring Kingdoms under one banner to combat the brewing darkness that threatened not only Anthys, but the whole of Elemental.
And that is the gist of it, please leave comments, I'm trying to fine tune it, but it seems rather moot at this point if I can't get the game to save it
