D&D: Five Tragic Backstories That Doesn't Follow in Batman's Footsteps

Are you tired of having the same tragic backstory as your tragically murdered parents who set you on the path to vengeance? Try one of these! The second half of many worlds in D&D are scattered with the souls of the player characters' family. Often, their only surviving descendants are tragically killed before they are finished with the creation of a character. And, that means that makes sense. Vengeance for your loved one is a powerful motive. It's a compelling story hook for reasons. It's a very primitive drive that drives many of our favorite stories. Courtesy of Warner Bros., however, if you want to have a tragic backstory without adding to the wings of Celestia's “Player Character Family” then there is an alternative to give it a try. This tragic backstory of losing a family property comes with the need to be Batman and all the weight of your family being Batman. Instead of losing your family, you can play as someone whose family has been taken from the home by evil forces. Whether your power-hungry rival Noble, Mind Flayer manipulation, or demonic dealings get sour, there are many reasons why your character may need to find or create a place for himself in the world. After all, they have a family to offer! There are plenty of hooks that instant dramas and DMs can use to draw backstory into the center storage. Being captured by the Pirates in the Fabtasy Story, lured by the Pirates, is the beginning of many adventures. But it is also the beginning of your character's heroic saga. You've been raised by the sea away from their families, but you're just looking for people who were once your own. Or a treasure. However, such a background provides a built-in reason for adventure. Also, there is a dramatic possibility of the spade. NPCs can become long-lost families. Or a member of the crew you grew up with. The kidnapped family gets a Batman vibe, but it can actually change the outcome. Have your beloved family (blood or other) be captured by evil rivals and taken by prisoners. It's safe if you don't want to “go outside and rescue” first. This is usually applied widely, as in the Monte Cristo situation. For a while, no one expects to see them again, but you still have hope, but you can also promote your first adventure. It's usually either. Yesterday, or like that, I invited him forever. It is possible that you and one or more of your family members have been separated in dangerous situations. Like a plane storm or a huge fire of elements. Or maybe it's a Tarask attack or something. And your PC will end up alone in the wilderness. This is where you might have picked up an old Outlander background. This gives you something for both you search for and try to find the answer. Plus, you could have discovered something in the Wild. Go with your lover, either a cross between Lovelorn/Star or a cross between good old stars. The two souls do nothing but being together, but for some reason they cannot. It is either from two houses where they resemble dignity, or because war divides their people, and the mountains divide them. Either way, having a tragic love interest for Pine Away is the perfect fuel for the scene. Great feed for adventure books. Does your character have a tragic backstory?
