This was mentioned before in the old thread here:
These are fine. I'll let you know about the favours when they come up. Mwah-hah-hah! I don't mind people doing a bit of stuff with their 10 years that isn't just spending previous xp. I'm not desperately hung up on play balance since you're unlikely to be attacking each other (unless you're VERY dim!) but everyone seems to be sensibly building their character for interesting stories rather than gross power/munchkinism.

My character's background is that he was found, apprenticed, and gauntleted at the Domus Magnus Coeris, then spending the next 10 years in England working for the Exarch. Since Romanian won't hardly come up in game, what I'd like to ask for is if its ok to get an extra 50 xp representing 10 years of exposure for English as a second language at a score of 4.
Also one other thing, I'm going to take "Favors" as a flaw. What I figure is that whatever deal the house arranged to be able to install me into Hiddenhall from outside the tribunal included services or something left to me to fulfill. I figure it'd be good to throw that ball out there to the GM to come up with the details.

Upon further reflection I think it needs to be stipulated that since this is a deal between X and the house (or its representatives - most likely the Exarch in Stonehenge) - if I don't know the details and someone comes to collect, I'll likely insist on confirming with the house about the terms before complying. There could be some prearranged indicator that could indicate sufficiency - a password perhaps.
As usual, let me know if this doesn't work and I need to refine.
