Ehh? I never really thought about parental relationships of my characters. Might one plausible reason that the parents of my characters live but contact is lost. Or they live, contact is there, but are simply not mentioned in the story because most of the characters' parents have no connection to the story at all, so why bother mentioning them?
A way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay,
brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.

Destiny: Father dies partway through, his son ordering the hit. Mother is unknown, probably alive, but I'm not going to involve her.
National Service: Both alive - they constantly nag James to get a job, while threatening to throw him out the house if he doesn't. He eventually accidentally drunkenly enlists with the BAF.
Andrew Maloney is old, so his parents are probably dust on New London.
I've only got one story that I'm not ashamed of that has dead parents in, and I've always tried to make characters realistic. So no ninja cyborg scientists saving Sirius from an uprising of Primus monkey-nomad hybrids...
And we should do a Mary Sue Litmus test for Discovery, hell we probably need it:P

I'm confused by the question, I dread to see the answer.
Also, only one of my characters have I really mentioned anything about parents, my Outcast... Basically, the LSF blow'd them up because they were filfthy smugglers, the rest of my characters I haven't really done much RP yet, I'm probably not going to mention them as my Order pilot because contacting people from his "old life" wouldn't be very safe.
I think the reason most people RP their parents being killed is because revenge is a good reason to wage a one man war against a whole faction/race.
