     +==== Kids on Bikes Relationship Questions ====
     +
     +These are reference material, KoB gives these to help you build relationships in a new game between characters in the party and not. If you’re a little stumped for how you know a character, you can use these.

     +==== BROUGHT TOGETHER BY FATE ====
     +
     +You find yourselves working together because of the circumstances. Despite this being
     +a common trope in classic fantasy tales, it is actually the most difficult to pull off since
     +your group will lack a precise goal: you must work with each other during play to build
     +a web of relationships (Bonds become incredibly important).
     +
     +If you choose this premise, it may be a good idea to switch to a different type of group
     +once your characters have developed a common goal.
     +
     +  * What emotional or familial connections exist between your characters?
     +  * Have your characters met in the past? Are there any tensions or rivalries?
     +  * What do you have in common? Beliefs, enemies, past experiences?
     +
     +==== GUARDIANS ====
     +
     +One of the Player Characters is a Chosen One, a person tasked with a mission that
     +could change the very fate of the world. Everyone else in your group has sworn, by duty
     +or by choice, to protect the Chosen One during their travels.
     +
     +  * What bonds, ties or rivalries exist between each guardian and the Chosen One?
     +  * What is your mission? Who gave it to you? Do the authorities approve of it?
     +  * Why does the Chosen One need protection? Who or what threatens their mission?
     +
     +==== HEROES OF THE RESISTANCE ====
     +
     +You are the last line of defense against a terrible power, a darkness that threatens to
     +envelop the known world — such as a power-hungry kingdom or an oppressive empire.
     +The fate of many lies within your hands.
     +
     +  * Why is this daunting task up to you? Have you fought against this enemy before?
     +  * Which factions helped you, and which ones betrayed or opposed you?
     +  * Who are the most infamous among the enemy leaders and followers?
     +
     +==== REVOLUTIONARIES ====
     +
     +You form a small force that fights tooth and nail against a dominant power: it might be
     +a tyrannical government, a military occupation, or even a ruthless industrial company.
     +Society and security forces probably consider you criminals or terrorists.
     +Š
     +- What is the price your character paid for their insubordination?
     +- Which factions promised you their help? Which factions might oppose you?
     +- What are your enemies’ crimes, and why is no one else opposing them?
     +
     +==== SEEKERS ====
     +
     +You are desperately searching for someone or something — a powerful witch, an
     +ancient relic, a legendary location, or even a long-lost technological marvel. What you
     +seek is the world’s last hope, or at least, you think it is.
     +- What is it you are trying to prevent or remedy? What are you looking for?
     +- What do you know of your mission? Who or what gave you this information?
     +- Who doesn’t want you to find what you seek?
     +- What prompted each of you to join this mission?
