All colonists will have a childhood backstory, but only colonists generated at age 20 or older will have an adulthood backstory. Teenage colonists that age naturally to 20 years old will not gain an adulthood backstory. Currently there are 36 childhood backstories and about 85 adult backstories. Several adult backstories are not available in the character creation phase, but can randomly appear on [[raider]]s and wanderers. | All colonists will have a childhood backstory, but only colonists generated at age 20 or older will have an adulthood backstory.

There are 290 of such backstories, and they can be found here |
