[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 6825404, member: 6777052"] Assuming you spend part of the first game session narrating backstories for your new characters, you could start by privately telling each of the other PCs a different and wildly improbable backstory. No-one knows what your real backstory is, least of all you. For example, you tell the paladin a sob story about growing up in an orphanage where you were beaten once an hour and fed on rat stew, but you only got that once a week; you tell the party wizard that you were a mighty sorcerer until a demon from the abyss robbed you of your powers; you tell the party rogue that your brother-in-law owns a diamond mine but it's been taken over by kobolds and that's why your family is poor; you tell the fighter that you are a colonel in the army, working undercover for the king; and so on. The PCs will soon compare notes and realize that you are not who you say you are, but start to wonder [I]who are you[/I]. [/QUOTE]
