    I always liked the messed up backstories, all you gotta do is make an edgey one but remove the part where you get some great destiny or power. My god gave me this task, I have no idea why and it sucks, I miss my family.

    • True. It can be cool. Character backgrounds don’t even have to make a ton of sense as long as everyone playing is fine to just roll with it and have fun.

      An edgy background also often lends itself to motivate a character to go adventuring with a loose group of weirdos.

      If you try to squeeze in your main character issues though, that’s rarely welcomed.
