characters whose parents are still alive and well
One ten years ago I used to play on a pbf set in the world of Naruto, and I remember that I specifically made my character to still have both parents alive and well, and having a happy relationship with them. The evening before his first lesson he had them over for dinner, and he often went to their house to see them. It was so funny to see my character surrounded by all those edgy, dark kids and he being all sunny and optimistic xD

in reply to Patrick Marchiodi • •I guess that counts?
But I admit that in my AD&D times I usually wrote my characters "around" some huge life-forming (or shattering) event.

Does a missing mother, but loving father and stepmother count? Again, not tragic, just mysterious. (Nadia)
(unmentioned) Loving family, sent out to adventure to get some self-confidence and assertiveness so she can come back and be a tribal leader (Reed). And she went with her cousins, and returned home frequently.
Very few of my characters have grimdark or tragic pasts.
