The Thread sentence says it all. :]

My half elf got hit with a battleaxe in her room. She's like.. 12

I had a Warlock (Stroth) whose father told him he was the reason for his mothers death

Mike found out his entire country was built upon lies and was later mind controlled into destroying his allies leaving a baren world.

Azazel was kept in a basement most of his childhood, got chased to the end of the world tavern after falling through a portal, which broke his leg, got his limbs torn off at some point by spawn, learned he was a demon, had a crisis, and then took over a layer after atemos died -w-

Lysander was tortured for a near eternity in Carceri, as they were pressured and cagoled into betraying and being betrayed a near infinite amount of times. Oh, and also the trauma from dying 3 times. Oh, and the cold and careingless mask he must put on in order to achieve his goals

When Davras was just seven years old, the entire drow noble family they were born into (except for them) was murdered by agents of Lolth.

When Brand was a child, his Mother and Sister tried to use him as a blood offering to Mammon (Hence how he got the pentagram scar branded into his chest). he ran away from said family began a life of crime as a junkie then later became a Gang lord for the Red Star Gang. He then, much later, lost his wife after he killed after she confessed to be a Succubus who worked for Grazzt. He works for Asmodeus as a Bounty Hunter for souls.

Orion (current version, which most people probably don't know about in the lord's rest) had his wings burned off in an accident that also took the lives of a family's children whom he had attempted to get out of the burning building. This incident awakened his phoenix sorcery, which is a rather cruel reminder from whatever god allowed it, a constant reminder of his failure and the wings he no longer has. A side effect of this is that he cannot regenerate the wings through any means, which is a futher nail in that coffin

Aedwin's parents were killed by xenophobic villagers - or were they?

Alloy endured decades of slavery and abuse at the hands of his parents, then later Levistus, leading him to the point where they commit insane tasks if they see a reason.

Naomi's father was killed and she was bullied her entire childhood life.

Khiss, the new one coming soon, was born to and lives for a grievous silent war that could end worlds...

Cato was a survivor of a shipwreck who did very questionable if necessary things to survive. When he got back to civilisation, he was immediately put on trial for the murder of some of the crewmembers and sentenced to death. He escaped, with a fully-formed plot for revenge on the society that judged him. He would force them to play deadly games where they too would have to do very questionable if necessary things to survive. Then they'd learn, the hypocrites...

I had a stars Druid called Luca who fell in love with a girl called Elli. The DM proceeded to create scenarios were it seemed as if she died over and over again, constantly destroying Luca emotionally. Then Luca had to die to keep Elli alive one last time, which caused Elli to live in sadness for the rest of her life.

o_o little concerned at how y’all came up with these traumatic backstories

Gawain can’t die from old age but he can die from wounds, but whenever he dies he comes back to life after about a minute at a random time and place. He was once killed by a sheep. When he was level twenty.

One of them was fighting a mummy lord, which was a deadly encounter for him, and he killed it in one turn without using his action surge or bonus attack
