[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8462502, member: 508"] I've done similar when I DM. The first campaign I ran for our current group had a PC named, no kidding, "Cal Trop." He gave me no particular family background, so I made one up for him, including a goatherder brother named "Trip Trop" and a bard sister named "Yvonne 'Von' Trop." (And then I photoshopped the player's head onto all three of them to give him a visual representation of his family.) More recently, my son's gnome fighter had a cousin with whom he was involved in a long-term, back-and-forth prank war. In the same campaign, one player gave me an extensive list of his PC's siblings and thus a younger brother became a love interest for another player's PC, a younger sister was a notable plot hook that got them involved in a pair of bored demons, and a third sister ended up being the party's NPC healer when their NPC cleric got permanently killed. (Ironically, she stuck around longer than the player's PC, as he bowed out of the campaign towards the end when he moved out of town.) And our female player ran the half-sister of her PC from the previous campaign. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
