Hey. I need a couple of intro paragraphs for a blog post on writing compelling character backstories for roleplaying games. The take that this particular post should have is that these stories should be short, but also include interesting elements that the GM can use to create interesting scenarios. Keep this to 150 words maximum since it's just the introduction. Take a helpful, positive tone.

So you want to write a backstory for your character but don't know where to start? The truth is writing a backstory is pretty simple. It doesn't have to be super long (in fact, shorter is usually better), nor does it need to have a lot of detail. It should, however, set the stage for your character's adventuring career while also giving your GM some interesting ideas to work with when creating scenarios.

Whether you're playing Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, or any other roleplaying game, there are a few key elements to include in your backstory. In this article, we'll explore those elements and look at ways to apply them to your character's backstory.
