"You're all orphans? Great. That's how you know each other: you all grew up in the same orphanage. Let's call it St. Cuthbert's Asylum. Who was the older kid who always watched out for you? Cool. What's the caretaker's name? It's a woman? Neat, let's make her a hulking half-orc with red hair. She was a war orphan, so she's pretty nice to you. What sets her off in spite of this? Ooo, interesting. Which one of you found that out, and how? Nice. There's a business next door, what do they sell? Who helped out at that store? (etc.)"
