  Legendary character often began their lives under some unusual, and often Mysterious circumstances. Weird shit. Some where born at crucial time during the day or year, other are because mom was sleeping demons or dad was plugging a goddess. These events often shape a character later in their lives. Not every character will have weird shit happen and are normal births where nothing happen other then the natural miracle of RPG life.
