ST is giving us players a ton of starting xp for our characters. What would YOU do?

This might just be my first time playing Hunter in any shape or form assuming she follows through with her plan.

I've only ever played Werewolf Apocalypse and a bit of Changeling Dreaming.

I know the broad way the Hunter 5th deals with it compared to the earlier editions.

Basically the ST has said she wants to run a chronicle of "veterans" who have been Reckoning for a long time, like 15 years as the lower bound and 45 years as the upper bound, ideally closer to the middle so like around 30 years.

So she has said that she'll let us take as much starting points as we want with the only condition being that we provide backstory that makes it make sense in universe.

Not like munchkinry really just kinda the logical result of a character already having had a long arc beforehand.

She's not certain about a lot of the details but she's thinking of like the northeast coast of the United States or Canada for a general location and that it'll take place between 2009 and 2019.

I'm still pretty deep into the brainstorming phase:

1. For Creeds I lean towards Faithful or Inquisitive, someone who either has a very intimate spirituality that motivates their hunting or someone legitimately searching for the truth behind supernatural stuff.

2. I like Oath or Curiosity for Drives. The running theme for my ideas is I generally want to play someone who leans towards being a reasonably good person even in bad circumstances.

3. If we were doing an edition with Imbued I'd be leaning towards Innocent or Redeemer. The ST has said "no Mary Sues" and that these kinds of characters run the risk of that but she's vaguely willing to let me pursue it.

Share your experiences and ideas and whatever reading about other people's headcanons and chronicles really helps me thank you.
