When it comes to character background, I use 3 links:
D&D Dice Roller
The dice roller is for these 2 links, which I tend to mix to really work out a character's details:
Background Generator 1
Background Generator 2
Then using the timeline of this game, I figure we are in the year after the start of ARR which coincides with the story, making the year 1578. The Calamity happened in the year 1572. I then take the backgrounds generated, and try to work them into the timeline. From childhood, on up.
