Wait what?

My old group actually just did this a few times, or something close to it in non DnD ttrpgs.

... People have not thought of this before?

It seems so obvious, it ... gives you at least a framework for part of the backstory for two characters, helps make the initial 'how does the party all meet' phase maybe make more sense.

Oh I wasn't trying to make fun of anyone, I was expressing genuine shock that this concept was not more commonly used, and explaining why.
