some backgrounds from dragon, if you're interested:
Early Life - Test Subject
You were subjected to tests arcane or alchemical, probably against your will. Do you still have visible signs of the testing, such as glowing eyes or a reverberating voice, and who performed these experiments on you?
Associated Skills: Arcana, Thievery
Pivotal Event - Escape
You managed to escape from your previous life, which might have been miserable or just stifling. Whom did you leave behind, where did you end up, and how do they feel about your escape?
Associated Skills: Athletics, Stealth
Pivotal Event - You Die
You died, either through foul play or by accident, and some person or event brought you back to life. Do you know what returned you from the dead?
Associated Skills: Endurance, Heal
Paretage - Draconic Adoption
You were adopted by a dragon. What sort of dragon was it, and how did it treat you?
Associated Language: draconic. Associated Skill: arcana.

Wow! Those EXACTLY fit the bill! O_O
If it's okay with Arc, I'll choose my benefits as +2 to Arcana, +2 to Stealth.
apparently there was an article a few months back that had a bunch of tables to roll up random backgrounds.
