    A lot of systems include character backgrounds. I’d definitely use your background to work out whether you might know stuff. In d&d I’d definitely look at how many ranks you have/whether you have proficiency in relevant skills

      They do include them, but I only use backgrounds as ways to pad out the mechanics and that choice is heavily influenced by the background I’ve already created. My current character is using the custom option because none of the backgrounds really fit.
