Childhood Backstories

Adds over 70 new childhood backstories for colony children. Backstories are assigned on their 13th birthday, based on what the child actually did and experienced for better immersion.

Backstories come with skill modifiers, which are added to the child's skills. Backstories can also rarely add traits. Overall, backstories are more beneficial than not, but there are exceptions!

Childhood backstories are populated when the child turns 13, as this is when vanilla assigns the "Colony child" backstory. Teens will have a blank adult backstory, and will have a title based on their childhood backstory. Adults will have the normal adult backstories.

Suggestions for more backstories are welcome! If your colony has a specific child you want to suggest a backstory for, please include screenshots of their bio and records pages, along with any other relevant info.

If added mid-game, existing children under 13 will get a new backstory on their 13th birthday, but anyone over 13 will not.

Safe to add to an existing game. Not safe to remove. Requires Harmony.
