Background
Middle Class Struggles:
Sometimes a character comes from modest, but comfortable conditions prior to entering a life of adventure. The character and his family did not come from vast wealth and they know the meaning of hard work to get ahead. This “middle class” background may be the hardest of all to leave, for the character had a taste of the good (or at least decent) life and finds that getting into adventuring is harder than it appears.
This broad category could include anything from a skilled technician, minor political official, professional soldier, or any other lifestyle that typically involves hard work – but with the pay to make it worthwhile. The character lived comfortably, but put in long hours to make ends meet. He’s no stranger to hard work and certain levels of injustice, but may have been shielded from the truly darker side of the galaxy – crime, corruption, slavery, and conflict.
Opportunity Knocks:
The simplest reason for a character to live on the fringes of society is the basic desire to grasp some opportunity or challenge oneself.
A character from a hard, poor background may strive to better himself and jumps at the first chance to improve his lot.
A well-off character may be bored with the steady rhythms of high society or realizes that his chances for advancement must come from his own hard work rather than waiting for things to occur.
Lastly, this could be as simple as making a spur of the moment decision to board a starship bound for some far-flung part of the galaxy.
