NOTES:
Remember character's have families, friends, associates, college buddies, high-school sweethearts, friends for life. Something may have happened to one of these to motivate your character into an adventure.
If your character could do something outstanding during a campaign what would it be. Does your character have special abilities?
Quick and Dirty Character Background
Consider making a very light or non-existant background and discovering your character through role-play. This method offers more flexability during game play whereas a detailed predefined character could be "stuck in a rut". A GM can help you adapt your character to the campaign and offer some insite or a teaser, "You the only son of a high-up executive at PGC."
