[QUOTE="FEADIN, post: 5593535, member: 36011"] When I started 30 years ago the back story was not the important part it was more roll playing than role playing even if the wonders of the adventures were very important to me, when I look back and think to all the marvels my PC lived (and died sometimes) I think I'm going to cry. The PC who lived on from the earlier days got a personnality adventure after adventure because the evnts and those they met changed their lives. One example: I started to play a female cleric of Anu (summérian god of air and weather) in ADD in some adventures, nothing special and no real backstory reaching 12th level I decided to multiclass to Thief (my favorite class I think...) I leveled up quickly (for this older edition) went to 2ed and I one day I thoudht about her past I decided she was married to another priest that they divorced and this was the reason behind the change of class that they had 3 childs (twins!!!) and so on. One day she met another PC played by a friend a plaldin follower of Thor he fell in love with me I had 26 Charisma a very big score on those days and we had a child who became a paladin played by this friend. In the last adventure we played together his paladin was killed by the sword master with a trick from Loki he went to Vallhala and became a demi god. Some years later the same DM made another adventure where we met again with some other heroes beyond the rainbow bridge and tried to stop again the coming of Ragnarok. This PC started with no background but has played so many adventures than she is more living than some real life persons. [/QUOTE]
