Does OOP always play characters with the same backstory beats? I’m always making up new insecurities/obsessions/neuroses for my characters because I feel like I can’t use the same backstory twice. (They have to have something going on, though, because well-adjusted people don’t make a career out of going into trap-filled holes in the ground and fighting to the death for the inhabitants’ pocket change.)
If they’re anything like me then each character they make is focused on a different facet of themselves or something they’ve dealt with. The rest bleed into it in more minor ‘supporting’ ways while one mental illness takes the main stage.
