Change it after you started playing the character? I do not think so and to be hinest thats good, changing your parents in the middle of your life isn't that easy  :whistling:

Yes, unless you kill them and get yourself adopted... Although I doubt that you would do that to them. After all, with jobs like those, THEY would kill you. Besides, your not a cruel person, right?

You can roleplay any way you'd like - the character creation process only determines your stats and does not limit you to actually roleplaying the choices you have made. So if you want your character's father to be a miner, he is. However, there is no way to go back through character creation and actually change this choice, to get your stats as they would be if you have made this originally.

What I'm saying is that you can use the custom character creation as a means of getting inspiration for your character. It can give ideas that you would otherwise never get, and I find that it provides a lot of information that you wouldn't know about otherwise, such as some bits of information about races, the months, etc.

Agreed, it can be a very useful stepping stone into the game and into roleplay entirely - though it's also good that you are not locked into the choices you have made when it comes to developing your character's story.
