It's simply because traumatic backstories are more, well, dramatic, and people without families are more apt to go adventuring--less to leave behind, don't have to worry about what your family will go through if you never come back, etc.

As for happy backstories, uh...y'know I don't really have very many. I should probably fixed that.

Actually, if one thing I can think of, it's in a game I'm playing, my character, who thought her family had been dead for the past couple years, ran into her kid sister for the first time in forever, and was pretty overjoyed about it.

>>27685205

>8 year old daughter that he absolutely dotes on
>Every family interaction is sweetness and light
>Use personal connections to help her meet a Congresswoman
>Join official superhero team because they offer a raise that his cop salary isn't pulling down
>Use her as justification for temporarily joining the BBEG (PCs are on the side of the Greek Gods, I remember enough Zeus to not want my daughter anywhere NEAR that fucker)
>No hostage situations or refrigerators
>everythingwentbetterthanexpected.jpg

I swear at one point I'm going to play the daughter, setting-adapted for the new world, and give her that exact same backstory.

OP here. That was actually what I had in mind with my group's next Exalted campaign, too. Now if only I could get my DM to free up his schedule so I can run as a grown-up Shot of the Mire.

>>27685205
You know what I'm tired of? Grim and depressing worlds. I see way too many games where people have to fight monsters or face life-threatening danger. Why can't game worlds be happy places devoid of evil and peril? Instead of trying to overcome bad things, why can't PCs just try to make good things even better?

Not aure if this counts. In an old Fading Suns campaign, I wanted to play an al'Malik noble. The GM kinda guided me toward a Changed character...I'm still not entirely sure what they were but it came with some funky abilities that I honestly never used because they'd be sure to get the church to burn me as a demon.

I said that I was actually looking to play a character with a happy, almost boring background and play the unlikely hero type. He was fine with this. In fact he said that's why he let me have very powerful abilities that would have upset the game in anyone else's hands. Where he knew the other players would look for excuses to ise them, he was sure that, when I finally used them, it would be dramatically appropriate for the whole campaign and. Ot just for a particular session.

So my character was happy, for the most part. Had a loving family. She had amslight entitlement issue but nothing that made her a bitch... And that would be the happy background op was looking for.

However, i. The course of the campaign, she learned that she was actually a clone of her 'parents' REAL daughter who was killed in some sort of attempt on their lives. They used their influence to bring her back via my character, the Changed clone...

So there was tragedy in her background that I didn't write. Hopefully this still counts!!

I'm so sick of it, as is everyone else in our friend group, that we specifically created an Only War campaign were we play the cast of Disney's Atlantis as character.

It's been the best game ever so far.

Amen, Anon. Sometimes, a quest for the sake of improving something is worth just as much, if not more than a quest to fight evil. Pic related. No villain, no apocalypse, just the search for a virtuous life.

>DnD 3.5
>custom campaign setting
>playing goliath

It's not so much a backstory as it is his personality, I'll come up with a reason for it eventually, but he always helps children, orphans especially. The DM used it as an opportunity to give him a bonus to diplomacy checks with anyone native to a certain town after he rescued orphans during a dragon attack. It's pretty great.

>>27685932
Oh, I forgot to mention, he's flavored as a luchador and spec'd to be a monster grappler.

Well I don't know if its really warm and fuzzy, but I'm fond of the backstory I gave my Drow Swordsage.

>Abandoned at the door to a monastery as a child (super original and creative, I know)
>Father took him in, and raised him as his son, despite their racial differences
>Brought up to treat everyone fair and equally, no matter what their race or past deeds
>One day, father grows ill, and as they live a poor existence, they can't afford medicine
>Drow knows he has to take care of his father, but without money, can't do so
>Takes what little money they have to a local alchemist, asking them to take medicine to his father
>They agree to do so, and promise to do it every week if he keeps bringing in gold
>Character starts adventuring because he wants to earn enough money to pay for his fathers medicine
>Regularly sends pouches of gold back home, with a raven or courier.

I just hope the DM doesn't announce that my characters father dies, some day.

I am surprised by how bereft y'all's games are of happy backgrounds and moments.

>>27685812
Check out /tg/'s CATastrophe setting maybe.

>>27693108
My current game is kind of going in the opposite direction from anything nice or good, and has ever since character creation.

Not all catgirls are lighthearted and zany, as it turns out.

The party adopted a thirteen year old lycanthropic kid.

His mother abandoned him, he never knew a father, and some evil fey from the woods he lived near had decided to fuck with him repeatedly. Party killed his mother (who was also very unsympathetic and treated his lycanthropy as 'dirty, infected, broken child, we need to fix you') and slapped enough fey shit to get them to stop fucking with him.

Party now has loyal minion and collective adoptive son. Busy trying to bring him up right in the background to being adventurers.

>>27685205
>Cleric of Garl Glittergold in my party
>Has a wife
>3 kids
>Was a miner, until an accident
>He bumped his head in the mines
>Now believes he's the son of Garl Glittergold

>Leaves family behind

It was happy, until the end.

>>27690043

Your character's father has been dead for a long time, drow, but someone's been collecting the gold. Sounds like you've got one hell of a homecoming ahead of you...and a face-to-face with the true nature of your race.

Oh and her sister was taken by the Half-Giant as a slave, but he hasn't been to two games so I have no idea what he's planning on doing.

Human sorceress with amnesia with vivid memories of a great fire and a village burning.
She lives peacefully in a village with her mute "sister" (She found her and took her with her during the destruction of the village) and works at the inn with her savior that found her wounded in the forest.
Her sister gets kidnapped by the minions of the BBEG and she sets after them with the party.

I was thinking of taking the Epic Destiny Hordemaster eventually. She'd be my lieutenant.

Otherwise I'll just train her as my spunky pirate sidekick.

>>27685205

Sure, why not?

In one of my campaigns we had two characters, a human bard and a half-elf rogue, who'd grown up together. Their parents were best friends, they treated each other like brothers and always looked out for each other. They regularly dropped by their parents' homes to let them know everything was okay, sometimes stayed for a few days to help out with the family businesses (bard's parents ran a general store, rogue's parents were silversmiths), and the parents generally fussed and worried about their boys going off adventuring but didn't try to stop them. Generally a pretty happy situation.

Greentexting the other one. Set in Forgotten Realms.

>Party has been searching for wrecked pirate ship to recover its treasure
>Find ship wrecked on rocks a couple of miles out to sea
>Find there is exactly one survivor besides the captain
>Diplomacy and bargaining, promise to take him back to shore with us
>He agrees to guide us to the treasure, starts leading us through the ship
>We come across a recently hatched song dragon wyrmling, can take cute lil girl form at will
>Starts asking questions about us because she's never seen anything other than the two humans on the ship before
>Entire party melts and we take her along when we leave
>She's attached herself to the party wizard, a nervous winged elf girl
>Baby dragon is now part of the party and contributing as much as she can
>Everybody helps out raising her - bard keeps her entertained, rogue teaches her sleight of hand, etc.

Sadly the campaign seems to have ground to a halt due to DM having too much on her plate.

>>27693369
Tell me about it. I loosely based my character on the Generation A Slav catgirls, and ended up playing the catgirl equivalent of Niko Bellic.

The single bright spot is that after a long day of doing terrible things to terrible people, she comes home to her adopted catgirl "little sister" and spends her downtime playing boardgames and watching movies with her instead of prepping for the next job.

>Party enters ancient weapon lab
>Though having been abandoned for roughly two centuries, the lab has still has an active power supply - and rows upon rows of security measures, including automated wall turrets, security robots and aggressive nanite swarms.
>The only thing in the entire compound that is not trying the party is a sentient AI that happens to be surprisingly friendly and helps the party by disabling some security measures and unlocking doors for them.
>Party manages to get the data storage device they were sent for. Unfortunately, the device is connected to hordes of heavily-armed security automatons, and removing it from its stasis chamber woke up said automatons.
>Party is now in full retreat, the AI is still supporting them by closing doors behind them so as to hinder the progress of the automatons
>The party is literally standing right in front of the exit of the lab, as the AI bids them farewell, quietly stating that it will probably have to stay inside.
>This AI has been locked up in the complex for two hundred years, all alone.
>The party comes to a grinding halt, turns around and somehow manages to sneak back to the central processing core right under the noses of the security automatons, transfer the AI into a cybernetic body and get out of the place without getting shot at more than twice.
> The AI eventually becomes a vital member of the party, hacking into stuff and also piloting the players' transport.

>Generic fantasy campaign
>Party is lawful good, kills rats in people's basements, brings back lost family heirlooms, roots out corrupt nobles and at one point puts down an Undead Invasion (even going so far as to help with the clean-up operation; placing the corpses back into their respective graves and sarcophagi so as to make sure they'd stay dead for the time being).
>All is well, the party is extremely popular. Gets free drinks at taverns, discounts in shops, and when in the city, is constantly followed by a crowd of children that want to be like them when they grow up.

>Eventually, the five members of the party kneel under five well-polished guillotines in the city dungeons.
>The king mocks them for their naivety and is about to give the final command, when suddenly the door bursts open and a wild array of farmers and civics floods the room, quickly dispatching the king's Guards before lynching the king himself.
>As it turned out, the rumor of the party's arrest and planned execution had sent the entire country in a violent riot, with what little loyal followers the Bastard king having been overrun by a mob of very, very angry peasants.
>The kingdom is subsequently split up into five baronies, with each member of the party getting his or her own one.

Damn you sir
damn you right to hell
You made me realize my Dm will never do something that cool

I got a pretty soft-hearted group, I guess. Not that I'm complaining. It was a pretty cool game and the baby dragon essentially became everyone's kid. She even helped us deal with a band of slavers.

That's not heartwarming at all

Tasty

I love having both, really. I like to RP (relatively freeform) in games that are practically what you might find in some cartoons.

Although I swear it's really annoying when you're the one playing fun, 'normal' characters and everyone else has to have huge plot-centric backgrounds or the good old rape card.

Damn it when you're trying to have fun and then something you do or say turns out to be a 'trigger'. Seriously, has anyone else had to deal with that?

>>27718799
The bacon didn't cure her. The healers were too busy with mortally wounded soldiers to take care of one feebleminded woman. At that time in the campaign, the entire world was in all-out war against an invasion of multiple monstrous species, i.e. giants, undead, etc. orchestrated by a millennia-old sorceress to help the Ruinous Powers take the plane for themselves. We were the alpha strike force (and eventually, generals/commanders) that went out and took down the head of each wave.

No, no, he was chuckling at the unintentional pun. Bacon. Cured meats.

>>27718899
Ah. My bad. The reaction image threw me off.
