Hello!
I tried googling and creeping this forum to find an answer to my question, but could not find anything specific, so i thought I'd just ask here!

I noticed on a few older forum posts (like dated March 6, 2016 or older), people mentioned a "Youth Hooligan" backstory for children, but I'm using Prepare Carefully, and do not see this backstory. Was it removed in an update before I started playing?

Let me know if this was the right place to mention this!

I think it was renamed. I can't remember it in A15 either, though.

This is a good place to ask.  I can't recall it offhand.  I assume you want to use it because of the starting stats.  Any idea what those were (roughly)?

I think it was changed to Urbworld Hooligan

What properties would you like your Youth Hooligan to have?

The image on the right shows the list of all possible things. Not necessary or even desirable to have them all in one story; they're just there to give the painter a palette to work with.

Thats not how screenshots work. All we can see is a pic of Internet Explorer and 1 1/2 back stories.

Also, how is that "Daddys lil monster"-image relevant to the thread?

Yeah I thnk it was renamed to something like "X Punk", mentions something about selling cigarettes to kids as a teenager.  I remember getting a tynan sylvester pawn with this background and laughed.

Speak for yourself.
I can see the full list of properties in that screen shot.
And as far as the image on the left goes, I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.

Thanks y'all for your help! I just wanted a complete and up-to-date list of backstories so that I could just look and compare them to choose the ones I thought were either A)interesting stories regardless of stats or B)had the list of skills, traits, yada yada that I really wanted for the optimal pawn(cheating huehue). 

It takes too much time and is terribly inconvenient to try and compare backstories in prepare carefully. In the end, I just went though each childhood backstory and recorded the skills from each entry, but the problem is, I don't know what stories force which traits or if theyre shufflable or simply tied to certain pawn, etc.

My Tynan pawn was an old guy who hated women. He was beaten to death by some woman's lover. I'm sure there's a lesson in there somewhere.
