I contribute as well, offering suggestions and helping incorporate ideas into the campaign setting, but I have never just assigned anybody a background.That said, I do have two players who aren't very involved in the RP side of things, and would not come up with a story. They each had a very loose background contributed mostly by the other players that they just gave the go-ahead to, and in these cases I filled in the blanks myself. I did this because I like to give character-specific content as much as possible; it's easier with a background, so in this scenario I was revealing their background through exposition (where usually it's the other way around). I also feel that if their character is more involved in the world, the players might be as well.</blockquote>
