SKORNE is a wonderful game system and implied setting. I adore it. I wrote d66 backgrounds for PCs. Create a character following the usual procedure, but keep note of the rolls to generate the gold crowns a PC gets, noting them in d66 format (i.e. one is a tens digit, the other is a ones digit).  Then look up your background on the table below.
