Each player rolls on the table and adds the extra HPs to the base 450 HPs used in character creation in addition to any points from Drawbacks, Background, Description and Personality writeups.

The Origin Background is a generic description meant to give provide some inspiration for players who have not yet thought up an origin for their character. If the player has already throught up an origin they can ignore what the table says.
