It's not the background, tropes of traits what makes them interesting I'm afraid, it is the roleplay and the execution of said background. In fact, if said trait or trope is the only thing keeping the character from being interesting, I'd say have a good look at their personality. A baker on the corner of the streets can just be as interesting as the war hero who lost and won many things.
But yeah, personality and interactions is what makes or breaks an RP character, not so much the rest! I'd really suggest focusing on that, instead of trying to stand out with a backstory. Make your character enjoyable and memorable, and not just their background. Because well, that gets boring fast after you've told it a few times.
