The best character I ever played the one that so far I have enjoyed the most. Really had no background or motivations. You see I was getting tired of creating backgrounds for characters just to have the game fizzle out after a dozen sessions. So I really didn't know much about the character. One of the defineing points for her came early on when the DM threw a real moral dilema at the party. What to do with tow orphan Kobold babies. It was during that session that it became clear that this character was not about killing everything and believed that everyone deserved a chance to become good.This game lasted for three years and I let what happen in game shape the character. It was very rewarding to play.Now I am not saying that making a background is a bad thing. But I think it bad to lock yourself into things like I am out defending my family's honor without discussing it with the DM first. What happened above is from a lack of communication between the players and the DM. And even you have an agenda for you character it does not mean it has to be filled right away.</blockquote>
