The [[background_names 2da]] defines starting area, starting waypoint, and surname for each race and class combination. It also provides a default creature template for the character, a default male forename, and a default female forename. These can be overridden by the player during character creation.

The [[2da]] is defined as an [[m2da]] in the [[M2DA_base 2da]] and has an '''ID''' of '''1001'''. It can be extended by m2da fragments which have names starting with '''background_names'''. It can be referenced in scripting using the [[TABLE_*|TABLE_STARTING_EQUIPMENT]] constant defined in [[2da_constants_h]].

== Structure ==
