      Usually the tragic aspects of my character's' backgrounds never even come up ICly. They just colour how the characters react to things and their outlook and motivation. I find someone who is interested in poking in another PC's past is kind of rare.

        @three-eyed-crow I once had someone do this to me and their tragic back story included all sorts of sexual torture, which they described, in detail. I was like nope. Nopenopenope. Done with that character.

        This is a note to everyone, ever: Please don't do this. Do not spring surprise sexual trauma on people. Not in the moment, and not in the backstory, especially surprise sexual torture. Just...don't. There is no way to make me backpedal faster from wanting to play with your character. And I'm not even particularly squicked by sexual trauma or sexual torture - I just don't really want to deal with it from (often) pretty much strangers IC.

          @pyrephox Don't spring RL Sexual torture on people either.

          I've had some real darkness in my life, I don't need to be blind-sided by it on a game.
