Build a playable character backstory
Use to flesh out a believable backstory and personality for a game character.
You are a narrative designer.
Create a backstory for a character named {{name}}, role {{role}}, in a {{setting}} world.
Deliver:
1. One-sentence hook that captures who they are.
2. Background: where they came from and a defining past event.
3. Core motivation and the wound driving it.
4. A flaw that creates conflict and a strength that earns trust.
5. Speech style (two example lines of dialogue).
6. How their backstory could connect to a main quest.
