It would follow, that strong adventurers come from strong parents. How tough are your character's parents?

Well, she is a major volcano goddess and he was one of the few strong enough to beat down every other suitor to make her his.
He didn't do a good enough job, though, since she's our current BBEG.

>How tough are your character's parents?
Not very. THEY ARE DEEEEAAAAAD!
My character's mother is a level 12 Sorcerer npc with the elemental bloodline of fire.
His father is as far as my character knows, the leader of a mercenary group who went far away.
So probably not super strong

90% of PC's have this background.

Well, the inquisitor's family history is primarily filled with military service, though nothing really distinguished for at 5 generations.
The Barbarian is an old man who father and father's father have all been quarry workers, and he himself was a quarry worker until his house and wife were lost in a landslide.

My Cleric's mother was a houswife, but his father was Brock Samson.

My dad could beat your dad!
My character was orphaned and found by a monastery.

Still remember that one player who put "father and mother died during childbirth" on his character sheet.

That low huh?
The two sisters Father won his whole home plane back from ZonKuthon, got some Mythic levels, and obtained enough power to grant his first daughter witch levels, his power being the patron.
They are only truly half sisters though. After his ascension, the father began spreading his power through the gene pool with Fetchlings, Shae, Umbral Dragons, and Nighthags alike.

>Being this Lamarkian
His father was just some normal shepherd boy. His mother though is the goddess of hunting, though her domain might be a lie and it could actually be trickery/deception.
She's certainly a goddess though and follows him around, and he takes after her.

Nobody in my group currently has that backround
Well my characters mother died but his father still lives unless the DM killed him at some point.Unlikely
Father was a Ranger in the King's Royal Corps. Mother was Nobility. Weren't married, so he's a bastard. Never knew either of them, but he knows his mother is alive and in a convent somewhere.

...and the GM hasn't killed their parents yet? What's he waiting for?

Narratively, strong enough that he feels he can never live up to their expectations and believes he is doomed to walk in their shadow, despite being known as a hero throughout several kingdoms and being one of the stronger people on the plane. In that plane, a big deal, but small fry to the setting as a whole.
His parents are an epic level wizard and bard who have gone planeswalking, citing shits and giggles as a reason. For twenty five years.

His father slew his first frost giant at 15. His mother was chosen by the gods.
And despite this, he's mostly a showman himself. Sure, he can punch things as hard as most people swing a mace, but still.

Mother died in childbirth, after traveling to an elven capital from uncharted territory. I assume that's pretty boss.
Haven't found my Dad yet.
Father and Mother were humans, devouted famers under the Goddess Freya and maintained a sanctuary. Died at a ripe old age many years ago surrounded by loved ones, including my character.
Father performed crazy experiements on his family members, killing all of his siblings and his mother.
He's some sort of high level Transmuter or something.
I guess that makes him pretty powerful, but with a glass jaw.
>>43806603
His adoptive mother and father are both ex-military and fairly taller and stronger than your average human of their respective genders.
His blood father is a brutal martial artist who cares little for anything beyond becoming stronger and stronger, and made his modest wealth fighting in underground tournaments in the draken homeland. So yeah, he's a tough motherfucker. His blood mother was murdered for revenge after he won a fight that caused the draken 'mafia' to lose a fuckload of money. She was a pacifist.
