 Childhood lifepaths typically take more time than adult lifepaths (8-10 years each vs 2-7), and have no associated CP cost (players get childhood lifepaths for free) or prerequisites.

 This child spent the majority of this lifepath in the Royal Court, that is either the regional or planetary seat of power (within the court, not just the city it lies within).  Whether noble or servant, this child grew up surrounded by the deception, politics, and intrigue native to such a place.  Life never slows down in the royal courts.  The Royal Court CP expenditures come in two parts, the first to indicate the base all children will receive for this path and the second to indicate allocations based on the specific birthright of those living in the court.

 The grand estate lifepath means the child grew up amongst the most stereotypical environment of each major power; be it Noble, Church, or Guild.  The grand estate indicates either a palace, or college, or cathedral dedicated in principle to one of the major powers. The estate could be located almost anywhere (though in many cases it will be in a major city or space station), all that matters is that the child spent most of their time immersed in that specific culture.  Just as with Royal Court, this lifepath’s CP expenditures are split between a base all children receive and specific path based on the estate type (for Nobles, Freemen, and Vassals) or class (for Servants and Slaves).

 The minor estate lifepath functions similarly to the grand estate, only the context implies a smaller court (it doesn’t matter if it is urban or rural, the scale is what matters) and therefore significantly more freedom for the child.  As with the grand estate, this lifepath is still heavily influenced by the culture it embodies and as with the grand estate and court the player must still pick the appropriate sub-path from the list below.

 The Space Brat background represents a childhood largely spent in ships, space stations, and spaceports.  Though an uncommon background (it’s not the best way to raise a child), it is also not exceedingly rare.  The fleets never stop moving.  The child will have been exposed to the very adult realities of intergalactic trade at a very young age.  Space Brats can come from all walks of life, whether rich or poor, noble or slave.  The lifepath has a base that applies to all children, and then the player must choose whether they were intrepid travelers or lowly servants/slaves.

 This lifepath represents the childhood of one who grows up in a pastoral, small town.  Generally anything from 50 to 10,000 people could be considered a town.  Generally the children get some social interaction as well as learn valuable trades.  Unlike other lifepaths, Townie does not distinguish between rich or poor as regardless of whether your parents run the local church or are members of a league the child’s life will be mostly the same.  If you grew up in a significant enough fashion relative to your parent’s class, Minor Estate may be a better lifepath.
