Title: Character Background Customization
Summary: When creating a character, ask few questions to determine skill levels on top of the current age based system.

ex) As a child you often
a) played your sword (+1~3% swordfighting)
b) wrote diaries and poems (+1~3% bureaucracy)
c) played war games with other children (+1~3% leadership)
d) read books about famous people and their inspiring speeches (+1~3% oratory)

Or if possible, make these choices determine the future skill gain chance of your character. If your character practiced with his sword as a child, then make it easier for him to gain sword/joust skills when he practices. Same goes for other choices.

On top of that maybe adding an option to choose which faith to start with might be nice.

Benefits: I think this gives a bit more flavor when you are creating a character and may help people with new players who does not know much about the game decide which path they want to choose.

Possible Downsides or Exploits: More coding. Might not be as interesting as I think it is.
