Backstories define the skills and restrictions of the colonist in question and may either enhance or impair the colonist's competence regarding specific skills.
It was once possible to buy an addon that allows the addition of a character with a specific name and backstory into the game. While this is no longer possible, further additions to the player-created pawn list are occasionally awarded for merit to the community, such as to honor especially prolific mod authors or content creators. There are currently 301 of these player-created characters, listed below.
