As for characters, I generally don't dump trauma into them.
They might have a sad backstory to some extent, but I like their current personality to be more upbeat-ish. Like a hafling feylock whose family and village was killed by a beast, causing her to set out to adventure. But she's ready and willing to get up to the current tasks to prevent others from going through it. So not really working on the "OMG my loved ones are all dead" and more "You gonna keep crying or you gonna help me kill that ****in dragon?"

mine usually have killed their own family or seen their family die in front of them and then sell their soul for power
Oh wait is that your thing for the thing? Because I love Merchant Characters.
No, I don't think so, but he will be making an appearance.
His name is Denarius Greasecure, and he's this chonky gold half-dragon who has connections in the black market. He smokes, drinks, and eats a lot, but only the finest despite his... less-than-refined appearance. He drives a magic hovering food truck (best kind of transportation in his home setting) and sells illegal magic items, primarily weapon greases and trinkets, out of the back.

Why does that remind me of the merchant from Resident Evil Village?

The Duke was his main inspiration, actually. Also Moore and Boggart from Elden Ring.

Choose one 1000000 HP or 10000000 all stats except constitution.
What's the CON mod?
Just thinking that high in the stats means you can use your feats on Tough, etc. And you're one-shotting anything you hit.
That's so you don't gain high con your con is 1 by the way.
So? Become a monk and you become quite literally untouchable other than for con saves, which you could bump up with various feats and ASIs. There is clearly a better option

For a moment I thought you meant Captain America: Civil War and was shocked you hadn't watched it before now.
Then I remembered there's that newer movie called Civil War.
