Congrats! Just one more part to go, and we are done with our game! Now being an elder, you can invent other situations to fit your age or something like that, if you are included in the situation. If you have already retired, you can roll again if you roll something dealing with a job.

And to determine genders, use this:

You decide whether any children are adopted or not. If they are, then use the name section to choose their name(s). You can also use the naming section for family and friends, including new family members(children, spouses, etc.).
You can also use the naming section throughout the entire game!

You can use this to determine what any spouses or any people dating anyone in your family look like first(for those unmarried and single), but if any children are adopted, then you can use this. You can add other things too(freckles, moles, etc.). Friends also count.
