I've found that whenever I get stuck writing down the actual background story, I try to inspire myself by writing short stories about things that happened in my characters background.
Say, if I decided he was a trouble-maker and did nothing but to give his mentors gray hairs, I'll try and write a story about just how and why he does that, before I try to fill out the actual background.
Not sure if this makes any sense, but I've found that writing a few short stories can help me assemble a proper background.
