"So what's your backstory?"
"My mom was kind of emotionally absent. It sucked. What about you?"
"I was born with a frail, disease-stricken body and treated as a useless burden by my family and village. When I trained myself despite that, overcoming the weaknesses of my biology through superhuman determination to give back to the people who raised me, I was shunned and outcast for a freak. Eventually, I was given to mercenaries, but even they began to fear me after I refused to die. Despite the acclaim that my deeds brought, I was eternally alone, a pariah even to the soldiers who fought by my side."
"Well, I guess you can call me Mario, because goddamn was I just one-upped."
