[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8052981, member: 6801845"] Does making my wife cry while reading a letter she found out that the aunt she idolized who left the letter for her was really her mother and her father was the BBEG? Basically, her back story was that she didn't get along with her parents, never felt that, unlike her sister she could be the daughter her parents wanted. She idolized her aunt who was a retired soldier missing a hand. I dropped little hint here and there for the story along the course of the campaign and at the very end the truth was revealed. The "aunt" had hooked up with the BBEG while he was still good on the eve of battle where they were probably going to die. He turned to the dark side out of desperation (auntie had too but realized her mistake and paid penance for the rest of her life). Not wanting the BBEG knowing he had a daughter, her sister raised her as her own. Lot's of fun. Then there was the time (in my 4E campaign) a player wanted to play a deva. Dropped hints about other long lived NPCs recognizing him from previous "lives". Ultimately it was revealed that he was the god Hod. In Norse mythology HOD was tricked into throwing the spear that killed Baldur, ultimately leading to Ragnarok. Odin thought killing him was too easy and instead cursed him to a life of a mortal to die over and over again, Frigga thought this was cruel so blessed him with amnesia every time he was reborn. On the PC side? PC's have gotten married and had kids. A paladin sacrificed himself to take out a vampire lord (and gloriously screwing up a planned story arc). In my current campaign they've started businesses, disowned by family because they refused to settle down, found out that a father they thought long dead was still alive and so on. [/QUOTE]
