Bonds

Bonds are optional, not required. They should normally be established early on in the campaign but can be added in with minimal fuss to an already established crew. Initial bonds should be formed with an NPC, someone in your past that you would like included in the story to help your character's story develop.

Bonds should be used to help develop and enrich the roleplaying atmosphere in the game in a meaningful and interesting way. This activity will be rewarded with a minor boon that will make sense such as an added boost die, a couple experience points, and so on.

Some bond statements are listed below but feel free to forge whatever you want. These are divided up by species but feel free to alter them or use another species as you see fit. You should select a single sentence for a single bond and have no more than three NPC bonds in total.

Eventually, when you feel you have developed a strong enough bond with a PC, the two players should work out a joint bond statement between their characters.
