A Conflict-Driven Character Creation Questionnaire

What is an RPG campaign if not a series of conflicts between player characters and the world, conflicts between player characters and non-player characters, or conflicts within and among the player characers themselves?

The following questions just popped into my head as a new way to facilitate character backstory generation–specifically by getting to the heart of the answers most useful to the GM in terms of crafting a story that engages the PCs. Can you think of any other questions I’m missing that will help generate conflict, i.e. story potential, in the characters’s backstory?

1. What does your character want most in the world? Why?
2. What character traits or talents will help them achieve their goals?
3. What kinds of people or things might help the character achieve their goals?
4. What character traits or flaws will get in the way of achieving their goals?
5. What kinds of people or things might get in the way of achieving their goals?
6. Who/what is your character afraid of? Why?
7. Who/what does your character hate? Why?
8. What is one thing your character regrets? Why?
