So, I managed to design this little creation process to help fill in some of the hidden blanks of the characters past. A few minutes worth of random die rolling and there are short ideas that, when tied together, can form the sequence of a characters life from beginning to the first adventure. While it is based on a random roll of percentage if a selection seems to fit an idea you are having or fits far better than a roll you just made, use it. As long as it works. Once all of these options are determined then a nice little outline is created for the player to fill in the blanks and create a history that can be used to flesh them out and possibly add future plot hooks for the DM.
Follow the links below to the ten different charts. This will not create a full fleshed out background of a character but it will give out fleshy ideas to fill in the blanks of a characters background that may not be set in stone.
Chart 1a: Birth Community
Chart 1b: Racial Community
Chart 2: Family and their Status
Chart 3: Economic Status
Chart 4: Social Standing
Chart 5: Private Ethics
Chart 6: Reputation
Chart 7: Ancestors
Chart 8: Childhood Events
Chart 9: Youth Events
Chart 10: Enemies
This was created in conjuncion with an online guide to help flesh out a character during creation. This is a much shorter version, the online version was 75 pages long.
