Message: <blockquote data-quote="Richards" data-source="post: 9376042" data-attributes="member: 508">I generally come up with (what I hope are) interesting backstories for my PCs, but I don't generally share much of it with the other PCs - that's information for the DM to do with as he sees fit.  The other PCs get to know the basic generalities of my PCs, and the other stuff gets released over the course of the campaign if the DM chooses.My first PC had a dead wife and was adventuring to donate money to the orphanage raising his infant daughter, all of which was revealed and became relevant plot points over the course of that campaign.  My current PC, a human sorcerer born to a noble family, was cast out by his father when his sorcerous abilities started manifesting (he wasn't aware he'd been casting spells, but his father assumed he'd made a bargain with a fiend for the ability to do so), and while that plotline has been resolved (he was welcomed back into the family), I'm still waiting to find out if my sorcerer's real mother was his father's wife (as everyone believes) or the nanny who practically raised him and his older brother, as I left that open for the DM to decide.My next PC will be a human cleric, but he'll secretly be worshiping a different god than the one to which everyone believes him to be in service.  The future DM has already approved that concept, and it'll be a nice reveal moment in that campaign when it finally comes out.Johnathan</blockquote>
