I have a character for each background almost but so far my favorite is probably noble scion just for rp reasons alone

Part of the reason I became a historian IRL! The part about not forgetting at least.
Probably because of the access to universal favored stats and most obvious text changes.
It goes, in order, like this:
a) Whatever gets me thoughness as my only non-selectable stat (just have some wine and be done with it)
b) Hopefully something that allows me to be literate
c) Hopefully something that allows me to be magically literate (I know all there is to know in white, black and blue magic, but somehow I don't have what you'd call a formal education in the arcane... and you'll excuse me, but I thought the whole point of studying spellcraft was to throw some godsdamn fireballs, which is what I can do)
d) If possible, it will get me some cool interaction or dialogue down the line
e) Logic?

Scholar, because it synergizes with the black mage class for both RP and stat reasons. I like the idea of a wizard who got sick of studying the world through books and decided to go see it for themselves.
Hunter here! Being a survivalist who knows his way around the wildlife just feels right for this setting. But it's mostly for having +3 agility 
Nocle Scion being the most popular tracks, most people would covet that position I think. They would possess all of the agency provided with momentous status and money, but with none of the heavy responsibility that comes with it, meaning they can do whatever they want, whether it's using their power to improve the world or community, or splurging it all on their own pleasures. There's a lot of mass appeal with this position.
Also the gameplay stuff but other people have touched on that already.

Ehh, I'd rather fit the area I'm supposed to be dealing with rather than be some dejected decadant dandy that has no chance in the family lineage; besides, nobility politicks suck.
Leave the politics for our siblings to handle, we're busy fucking around in the woods
And then you gotta help the ice elves with their corrupted queen problem, and then they offer you a position...
Ah shit, looks like my actions had consequences after all. Oh well, with how far away it is from my house, surely it won't be a problem right? r-right?

Always roll Noble, I am a sucker for content that lets you Dom and it just seems such a natural blend with being a domineering noble.
Granted, I also tend to pick the good-guy options so its also kind of fun to RP the heroic knight angle there as well.
