A lot of amateur writers out there find the [[Dark and Troubled Past|tragic backstory]] appealing. After all, most of the interesting characters didn't get raised in Suburbia, USA with a loving, complete family that cared for them. That's just boring. But [[Character Development]] is just sooooo hard. You mean you have to explain things? But it takes so long to establish mental illness and physical handicaps would only get in the way. Can't you just say [[Rape as Backstory|they got raped]] and be done with it?
