>like to write backstories that make up for their weaknesses
This is something that happens even more frequently in Mind Eye's TTRPG like WoD. One player had the following story for his Werewolf the Apocalypse character:
>romani
>her whole kumpania was destroyed and survivors were made slaves by a guerilla group
>her and her mother were abused physicaly and sexually daily
>somehow between a rape and punch in the face her mother could still teach the ways of the roma people and tell stories
>her character had future sight ability and was also used as a seer by the guerilla for then continue their war tactics (meanwhile being abused in many ways)
>her mother eventualy dies
>eventually all her kumpania died, making her the sole survivor
>one day she Changes into a werewolf and convinently a pack of angry werewolves arrives at same time and help her destroy the whole guerilla
>she's adpted into the werewolf tribe
>she learns about a secret sect of this tribe via her mentor
>basicaly a bunch of vengeful terrorists that uses a façade of "religious justice" to strike down evil people
>their method of joining is being thrown in a psychic hellscape that works as a psychodrama theater that tortures the apprentice psychology until he gives in to his vengeful side and merges one with it
>"my character has no traumas because she healed all of it in my background story"
>at same time tried to dramatize his character's own trauma when convenient
>when someone tried to appeal to her trauma he said "no, this can't happen because she is healed!"
I hate when they do this type of shit. Sometimes I think it's worse than powergaming.

There is no point is optimizing/powergaming because the GM will just make the game harder.
