We've all been there - our perfectly crafted character with the edgy and haunted background is sulking peacefully in the back of the tavern hiding in the shadows where it's nice and cozy when this annoying group of adventurers has the audacity to just come up and try to get them to go on an epic quest! How dare they!
You're here to play a game and so are your friends, so why won't your character play along?
Best practice, of course, is to make motivated characters, but sometimes that edgy rogue with a haunted past is just too hard to resist. When that is the case, find motivation for them. Maybe the adventurers are annoying, but the quest they keep pestering you about IS going to lead to untold treasures beyond your wildest dreams. Perhaps this annoying alliance may help you seek vengence against the system that lead to your parents being murdered outside the opera house. Maybe the over-cautious gardner who has never left their small village is willing to take the big risks they'd normally avoid becuase their best friend is in danger and they'll stop at nothing to save them.
No matter what, don't be afraid to make the character that speaks to you, but always ensure they have a reason to ultimately work with the party enough to play the game so everyone can have fun when the call to adventure hits. ❤
