[QUOTE="Jmarso, post: 8461962, member: 7032066"] Past family backgrounds of some characters (Greyhawk): One half-elf rogue (swashbuckler / privateer build), raised from infancy in the Dreadwood by his maternal uncle (a noble of the Silglen) after his parents died defending against a humanoid incursion. He grew older, fell in love with his pure-elven cousin, and fled home for the sea and a 'human' lifestyle after a MAJOR falling out with his uncle. Twins, half-even male fighter, female mage. Illegitimate children of the Baron of Grayhill, in Keoland and the Dreadwood. Both had the noble background but not quite all the benefits of it due to the bar sinister; her goal was to become a powerful archmage, while his was to achieve knighthood and renown somewhere in the Flanaess despite the circumstances of his birth. The two were an inseparable team. The two could go home and visit whenever, but while their father was kind enough to him, those around them saw them as a threat/embarassment/hindrance, because Baron Skotti was in line for Keoland's throne. One elf ranger who was the cousin of the top character, and brother of the sister the top character was in love with. The two wound up reuniting out in the world and adventuring together. So these characters had family, per se, but mostly as backstory and not an active part of any adventuring they did. [/QUOTE]
