    I had a player who pitched a backstory like this.

    We changed it so on their last big job, it went sideways and they barely survived. Now they’re recovering and slowly getting back on their feet, which is why they’re level 1.

    The player likes it because they can have a cool backstory.

    As a DM, I like it because I tied their reputation and fame to the campaign.

      A party of all Metroided characters actually sounds pretty dope.

      Especially when old allies or responsibilities come knocking… Or old enemies.
