Does a PC Have Amnesia? Try This!

Case in point: my soon-to-start modern campaign features a rich dilettante who's running her own bordello, and a street thug entangled in what he calls the "lunch truck mafia" (an organized crime syndicate revolving around those portable cafeteria trucks that frequent businesses). I've already got plans for turning the bordello plot into something meaningful... but lunch truck mafia? This player must be punished.
i believe those are commonly referred to as "Roach Coaches"

edit: for both the live ones and the implied ones you can buy and smoke

Help me get this straight in my head.

If the DM asked you to create a background before the game started, and warned you that if you didn't then he had free reign to make it up, then you wouldn't.

But if he was then as good as his word, and made up your character's background, that would spur you on to "be a dick" to the rest of the group and only then write up a background?

Why wouldn't you just come up with the background in the first place?

All too often, if you ask a group of players to come up with some sort of back-story for their new PCs, one of them will decide that his character has amnesia. It's a classic shtick from fiction and CRPGs, but it can be a real headache for a DM. Here's one way to have fun with it.

I had a player do this to me in a 2nd game. He did not want to bother coming up with a back story. This lead to a response of "Backstory? Ok. My name is Roger, and I have amnesia. Work with THAT!".

This lead to me deciding that Roger was one of several escaped Clones (2nd edition clone spell) belonging to an Evil Wizard. It was quite fun when I told him "as you turn a corner, you see a man who looks exactly like yourself. You have no idea how this could possibly be. All you know is that you must kill him. Killing him is the single most important thing you must do.".

The character was eventually retired when he literally took the parties treasure and buggered off.

END COMMUNICATION

You have heard of the Glasgow Ice Cream Wars, haven't you? :)

Heh - when I was living in Los Angeles, my girlfriend lived at the end of a street that was a little sketchy. The ice cream truck was driving up and down that street CONSTANTLY - it wasn't uncommon for us to hear that damn ice cream truck's song playing after 10pm. Yeah, kids are rushing out there just for ice cream in the middle of the night...
