He does not want to know anything about the world ahead of time, he just wants a neutral character he can put in anywhere. Also does not like reading the rules, so I have to write out his PC's for him, or talk him through each one step. By. Step.Player 2: hates mechanics. She likes the story, and the world building stuff, but hates reading the mechanics, so I also have to do her character sheets, or talk her through them.Player 3: has a few. Wants all of his characters to have a tragic back story, but is self-described as being bad at coming up with backstories, so they mostly wind up as "My parents died, I got exiled, and did X to become my class". Has a problem with a serious scene, so feels the need to break the tension every now and then by doing something stupid, no matter what his character is. The only one of my players interested in mechanics, but has no interest in the World, so I have to talk him through building his PC's, depending on what mechanics behave differently than they do by RAW. And all of my players stubbornly refuse to like all the same things I like, so most of my homebrew will prove useless to them, since it is built from my point of view.</blockquote>
