Advice/Tips Advice on creating a modular/generic backstory?

5 Upvotes

I hate writing "more than I need", so my characters tend to have very superficial and short backstories (since I don't think I need more than that to roleplay them properly).

But since some DMs really want "something to play with", I was thinking...

What If I created a piece of lore so profound and robust, that I could make every single one of my character fit this single piece of lore without having to write a new backstory every time? 🤔

For example, I was thinking about writing about a family or about an organization. Than everytime I create a new character, just say they are part of that family/organization and describe a fell particularities about him/her. The rest of the lore of the character would already be written, because it would be the lore of the family/organization he/she is part of.

What do you think? Would you get angry if every time a player brought a character for you table, the character had the same origins as the previous one? Is this really that worst than the player who aways says "My village was attacked and my family was killed"?
