Why does everyone's past have to be so tragic?
I mean, literally every single backstory so far has included at least one lost/missing loved one/family member. What's up with that?

Why would you want to have a boring, basic character with no depth who had an easy life until they went and decided for no reason to join a guild. I'm not saying its a bad character or a bad idea, just not interesting, doesn't have a motive or purpose for doing things. What if the story of King Arthur started with his dad going "Hey Arthur, you're king now my dude. Here's a sword and a group of nice guys who will fight along side you and die if you ask. Oh and a crazy old wizard we found in the closet you can have he should make for a zany tale. Now you go off and have fun champ!" Feels just colorless and bland.

You can have an interesting character without having dead parents, you know. There's other sources of strife. I'm not hating on everyone's backstories, just found it a bit odd how all of them shared a theme.

I agree with you, though I think that having characters who's friend/family members are missing - which seems to be more often than them simply being dead - works for this roleplay in that they are a group of adventurer's looking for answers to many different question. But you are right, you can have an interesting character without dead parents. Of recent, I usually try to steer clear of the 'dead/missing parent' trope, but for this RP and character, it felt right. I can't speak for everyone's characters, of course, but they might have felt the same.
