Hi there, it took me a few hours to get the hang of this but here's my code for Eren, Mikasa and Armin from Attack on Titan 
Their stats are a bit high! Also if you need someone to write a short guide, I can do it for ya (I think)! The only part I don't get about this mod is how to make actual characters with these backgrounds. When I wrote my PawnBioDefs, it didn't really do anything in the game :\ So I just use PrepareCarefully to assign the stats and all that

<baseDescription>NAME was rescued by Eren Yeager after her parents were killed by slavers. HECAP was nine years old at the time and was taught by Eren to always keep fighting. This event awakened the fighting instincts and perfect self-control. NAME lived with Eren's family in Wall Maria's Shiganshina District and is very protective over Eren and his best friend Armin. As a result, HE developed HIS close-combat skills and strength.</baseDescription><!-- This is the description of the backstory.

<baseDescription>NAME was a clever child who read a lot of books on life outside the wall, and past cultures of the Old World. HECAP often wonders what an ocean looks like and had always asked Eren to go to see an ocean one day. HECAP is curious but not so eager when it comes to physically exerting himself.
