=====Structure=====
====Nodes====
  * Node ID# (unique identifier)
  *  Group (How nodes are identified as groups)
    * Genre (fantasy, scifi, modern, historic - controlled vocabulary?) --- Note -  I'm thinking of having one table per genre as a way to reduce processing.
    * Sub-Genre (low/dark/high/post-apoc etc)
    * Type
      *  Environment
      *  Nature
      *  Nurture
    * Sub-Type
      *  Culture,  Tech Level,  Social,  Political, Religious
      *  Racial Genetics, Tribal Genetics,  Family Genetics
      *  Birth, Childhood, Adolescence, Adulthood, Middle Age, Old Age
  * Sub-Group (for grouping of nodes that doesn't fit the above 4 identifiers, e.g. subgroups)
    *  Name of sub-group
  * Title (of this node)
  * Description (What it does)
  * Time (how long it takes to do)
  * New (weighted chance of acquiring this node new)
  * ++Inherit (weighted chance of acquiring this node from parents/family/society)++ Won't be bothering to implement this to begin with as templates and choosing nodes before random generation should cover it.
  * Chance Changes (effects the weighting of other nodes)
    *  List of Node IDs, Groups or Sub-Groups
    *  List of weighting changes
  * Effect Changes  (effects the description of other nodes)
    *  List of Node IDs, Groups or Sub-Groups
    *  List of description changes
  * Children (what having this node as a result means which other nodes are then used)
    *  List of Node IDs, Groups or Sub-Groups
====Templates====
  * Name of Template
  *  Genre
