HelpYears of your life Game- Part 1(first 10 years)
Hullo! I really liked the year games done by Story and Lindseynicole, so I will TRY to finish this one even though those were never finished. And parts of this game are taken from those 3 previous year's games, so, credit to Story and Lindseynocole for the inspiration! Plus, credit to saphirdufeu. Enjoy!
Here's the die: http://www.brockjones.com/dieroller/dice.htm
First, let's decide if you have older siblings or an only child:
1: No siblings
2: One sibling
3: Two siblings
4: Three siblings
5: Four siblings
6: Five siblings, or more(up to 12)
---
Alright, time to forge you, the main character of this whole story!
First, your gender...
1: Boy
2: Girl
You decide whether you are adopted or not. If you are, then use the random renamer site to choose your name. https://www.behindthename.com/random/
This will determine your parents' names too, but you can use the naming section the entire time if you want, which is below.

You can use this to determine what your parents look like first, but if you are adopted, then you can use this. You can add other things too(freckles, moles, etc.).

1-5: Brown
6-8: Blue

Roll a 10-sided dice to see who you look more like. Use this for each appearance category. If you have siblings, use this for them too.
1-5: You look more like your mom
6-10: You look more like your dad
---
Now for your name! Use this for siblings if you want to.
