I need help with characters backstory?

Question

he is religious - drinks too much alchohol, and when he does becomes a cynic.

Answer 1

i would put something happening to his family, like wife and child, or brother/parents. which has caused him to blame god and the only way he could escape from the memories and his feeling of hopelessness is to drink. And when he does he curses everything in the world a swears god is out to get him or hates everything he has created on this planet....

what is your character for? d&d?
