A family member put a curse on me before I was born. My mother passed away in childbirth. My father did his best to raise me but became very ill. He asked other family members to take care of me and many turned him away until my uncle said he would take me for a price. The next 6 years were torture as he beat me and abused me. He kept me locked away from his family and the outside world. I was lucky enough to escape.
I did what I had to to survive. One night I stumbled upon a secret fight club and felt this intense pull and need to participate. The first few fights were tough but I learned far and became a pretty good tighter and made good money. Things were going well until I began to hear the voice. It was demanding more carnage.
It became harder and harder to focus and control my urge to destroy my opponents. Things finally became too much one night and I blacked out during a fight. I came to covered in blood and standing over the decimated corpse of my opponent.
it's pretty good, all I'd say is flesh out what happens after they came too, how do they deal with it, does the voice still talk, wat happened after the incident in the fight club? stuff like that
Thanks. The voice does still speak to him demanding carnage. When he fights he has a mark on his neck that begins to turn crimson red as it responds to the blood being spilt. When he came to he looked around at the stunned crowd. They stood silent seeing the carnage that they just witnessed. Draven ran and swore that whatever this voice us has to be dealt with. He is looking to rid himself of this curse. He still hears whispers of the incident at the fight club and the images haunt his dreams along with the voice and its constant need for carnage
For backgrounds I like Xanathar's Guide. It has a section in it dedicated to flushing out a fairly detailed background. It has charts that you can roll on or pick and choose. What you have written is a great start, but needs a bit more information about the character.

Remember this is a game and it's suppose to be fun for everybody. Let's all have fun and kill monsters.
1) Why did your family member curse you? Presumably it's because of something one (or both) of your parents did to wrong them. What could your parents have done that was terrible enough (in the family member's eyes) to warrant a curse on their unborn child as vengeance?
2) Does your character know why? Does he even know he's cursed? Did his parents know about the curse, or is it a mystery even to them?
3) I presume the abusive uncle is the one who put the curse on you? If not, then who?

Thanks Nat. I haven't had a chance to edit the story but to answer your questions
1) My mother and her have never seen eye to eye. Her sisters were unable to bear children and could not stand to see her so happy. They meant to curse her by having me die but the entity they made the deal with had other plans. It killed my mother and possessed me.
2) My character has heard other family members call him cursed when he was young, but doesn't believe it or really understand until later on in his life when he began to fight in the fight club. My father didn't know I was cursed and my mother died in childbirth.
3) my aunts on my mother's side cursed me. My uncle that took me is my father's brother. He was just in this for the money

Some questions that you should consider:
1) Why did your family member curse you? Presumably it's because of something one (or both) of your parents did to wrong them. What could your parents have done that was terrible enough (in the family member's eyes) to warrant a curse on their unborn child as vengeance?
2) Does your character know why? Does he even know he's cursed? Did his parents know about the curse, or is it a mystery even to them?
3) I presume the abusive uncle is the one who put the curse on you? If not, then who?
