My character got hit by a car, which placed her in a coma and paralyzed her lower half, forcing her to use a wheelchair perhaps leading to the break up of her group.
[@Polaris North]'s character lost his parents in a car accident, and was forced to provide for his younger sister.
[@RumikoOhara]'s character lost everyone in a ferry disaster, and was forced to find her own way in the world.

This is supposed to be slice of life, not slice of tears. :lol
