Page "Everway" Paragraph 8

Finally, each hero has personality traits based on the game's Fortune and Vision cards.

Players are to choose one or more Vision cards and base a backstory on them, and to have three Fortune cards representing a Virtue, Fault, and Fate ( a challenge they will face ).

These three cards can change to represent new phases in the hero's life.

There is a list of suggested Motives for why the hero is adventuring, such as " Adversity " or " Wanderlust ", but this feature has no gameplay effect.
