A picture is worth a thousand words. Any character background longer than that is probably terrible.
ITT we post pictures that could, all on their own, relate to you the important parts of a PC backstory.

I really, really like this picture.
This is one of my favorites for post-apoc style games.
>>53388468
Honestly, if I ended up in a situation like that there, I'd probably just fill my tub with hot water and sit down in it, put some music on and slit my wrists.
>>53388519
Yeah, but then there's no game to play. That's like saying "If I were actually in DnD, I;d quit adventuring after my first dungeon because the 600 gold I got is enough to live comfortably forever."
>>53388538
Obviously, yes. I was just making idle conversation.

Which goddess is this?
>>53389616
The one pictured at the back, it seems.
>>53389690
As it's clearly inspired by Aztec or Mayan culture, I thought it was one of their deities.

Something along the lines of "knight goes to visit wizard buddy and finds him attempting to sacrifice a maiden to a demon for power." The story ends when "knight drops helm, draws sword, and kills wizard to acquire pussy"

In order to reclaim the island, humans developed robots to fight the dinosaurs, but the robot's AI developed to the point of sentience and now enslaved/allies with the dinosaurs and are on the verge of leaving the island to attack humanity

>FUCKING CHERRY SLUSHIES
>>53392461
my favourite thing about this is that in addition to all the arcane shit there is stuff that clearly belongs to a Knight like his helmet and spare sword.
It makes it seem like they live together and the long suffering knight's just finished work and walked in on his room mate doing ungodly bullshit in the communal space, AGAIN!
A lot of DCC art could qualify for this thread.
>>53390583S
See this is why I can't really enjoy >>53388015. The goddess is supposed to be mischievous and fun but she just got that servant tortured and killed
>>53398979
Nah, I'm tired of AI developing sentience and trying to kill humanity. Every time there's a robot someone has to say "and then it becomes sentient and tries to kill us."
Fuck that, it's 2017, we're better than this.
New scenario: those robots killed the shit out of the dinosaurs, one robot developed rogue sapience and came to venerate the monolithic lizards it culled. Now there is a lone robot on a quest to resurrect the species it killed, at any cost.
Side-option, the robots decided to fight fire with fire and began self-modifying themselves to take on dinosaur forms.
There. No more "robots trying to kill humanity," that shit has been in common literature and culture for far too long.

This art doesn't tell any story. This is what underground shopping malls in China look like. Those red arm bands are worn by every police and security officer, everyone smokes, it's grungy, etc. I mean it's seriously like a picture. In fact, I may have taken a picture in that same damn mall

Hold on, pretty sure that's a T-800, possibly T-850.
SkyNet sends back a Terminator (or 2, or whatever) to preserve genetically-engineered dinosaurs by making Isla Nublar off-limits to the world, by causing the park (and all of it's successors) to fail catastrophically from behind the scenes, infiltrating the operations of each park and subtly tweaking safety procedures, construction, etc, so that horrific accidents and sabotage would always occur.
And then it waits in the jungle til Judgement Day, killing poachers and scientists who make land.

Consider this, what if the chieftain was feeling really uncomfortably warm just then so the cool, refreshing liquid that just washed over him was a pleasant, if unexpected surprise. And that servant was rewarded with a promotion.

Trickster gods generally gave no fucks about getting mortals killed.
And it kinda makes sense; when you're an immortal being who knows the servant dude will have a comfy afterlife in your realm, having him die a couple years early in the interest of lulz doesn't seem like a big deal.

Eh, sort of. That giant-ass mace that the King has doesn't look like anything that any Mesoamericans ever made, nor do the horse statues. The goddess in the picture of the throne's back looks almost Indian in art style, and the writing displayed doesn't look like anything at all. Most of the hairstyles look more Mesopotamian than anything, but the poor schmuck being controlled by the goddess looks East Asian. And the goddess herself has those two horns in the crown that look Egyptian.
The background has Maya/Aztec like pyramids, but the building on the right has Doric columns but what looks like Anubis crouched down on it.
I don't think it's meant to be any given culture or time period. Except maybe Atlantis?
>>53422218
Is it perhaps Mesopotamian? I'm not positive, but it feels like a possibility.
>>53422603
Not the other anon, but the picture was originally posted as "generic Bronze Age mix". At least that's what artist directly commented on it.
