Dead Parents

[farmerman]

I suppose it depends. It's hard to not have dead parents if the character is old.

But having some tragic parental death is a good way to go. My Gaian's mother was tragically killed several years ago. Though variety is good, as another character is actually his father and thus his wife was tragically killed several years ago.

Of course, another character's parents were tragically killed, but they're also the children of another character of mine, so does that count?

I rarely see anyone getting her husband or his wife killed ...

My one IMG's wife was killed (see above), but I wonder if there's a difference in perspective between this and the parent thing. For one, if it's parents that are dead, the character could be much younger and thus prone to more chaotic, irresponsible behavior afterward. Claude dealt with it by living in near seclusion and mining niobium - not quite exciting material, you know?
