Good call and great examples, Munin. I'm adding that to my campaign notes now.
Everybody: add the energy question to the list! (For some groups the answer will be "nothing")
Also noted: Not every question will be equally applicable to every campaign. It's a brainstorming tool. Use the questions that make sense for your world.
Obviously, the reason I do this is because I feel it's practical and good, but the length of the genealogy and the exact questions used will differ from campaign to campaign. Modify it to suit your situation. It serves two purposes: (a) retaining historical continuity, and (2) adding a layer of verisimilitude to characters and communities so you can really get to know them.
