| - The term back-story (also background story, back story or backstory) has meaning in both fiction and nonfiction.
- This is the story of the land of Vesryn
- Flyff is unique in that its backstory is not spoon-fed to the player, but rather is hinted at through a vague, incomplete official backstory and ingame NPC dialogue. This makes a fascinating challenge for those who accept it. (the backstory has also been released for years for those of you who look at the prologue button)
- A backstory, background story, back-story or background is a set of events invented for a plot, presented as preceding and leading up to that plot. It is a literary device of a narrative history all chronologically earlier than the narrative of primary interest. It is the history of characters and other elements that underlie the situation existing at the main narrative's start. Even a purely historical work selectively reveals backstory to the audience.
- Backstory refers to the history you invent to set the scene for your module or world. It ought to tell players a little bit about the world in which the tale is set, maybe mention some famous events or figures, and definitely should tell the player why his or her character is where it is when the story starts.
- A backstory is the background of a character before they are introduced, or is information that affects the character but does not immediately affect the story, if at all. It is basically their origin and past history. To use a very well known PPC example, Dafydd Illian's backstory is that before he joined the PPC, he was a disguised version of Maglor in a Suefic, and was dumped into a plothole upon the appearance of Maglor, and was subsequently recruited by Agents Alex Orange and Mortic Wentway. Sometimes, in PPC missions, backstory will be delivered by Captain Exposition.
- Backstory is a term that covers various types of plot and character details that occurred before the main timeline of canon. The backstory of a television series is often sketched out in "the book"—a prepared summary of the characteristics of the show that is provided to writers so that their scripts will be consistent with series canon. From the perspective of the viewer, backstory is often revealed in flashback scenes inserted into the main plot of one or more episodes. Forever Knight is unusual in having such flashbacks in almost every episode of the series.
- Neverland was created by the Thirteen, also known as the summon spirits or the thirteen spirits. It was composed of thirteen planes, or layers, of reality, traversable only by the summon spirits themselves. The Thirteen allowed other worlds to grow off of it, and worlds in turn off of those. Then one of the Thirteen grew twisted of his own greed and power, he renamed himself Pandora, the cause of all Ills. His power and greed bloated his plane beyond all imagination, but while it was bloated, it was also void. He populated it with souls, who were soon driven mad by the endless void.

- Neverland was created by the Thirteen, also known as the summon spirits or the thirteen spirits. It was composed of thirteen planes, or layers, of reality, traversable only by the summon spirits themselves. The Thirteen allowed other worlds to grow off of it, and worlds in turn off of those. Then one of the Thirteen grew twisted of his own greed and power, he renamed himself Pandora, the cause of all Ills. His power and greed bloated his plane beyond all imagination, but while it was bloated, it was also void. He populated it with souls, who were soon driven mad by the endless void. Pandora used all manner of ways to wrench the remaining planes from the grasp of the just Twelve, but to no avail. For this reason when humans arrived from a branching world, they thought them just another ploy of his. But humans had created themselves, and the Twelve were hesitant to smite them. Pandora only saw them as a vessel for his wrath toward the Twelve, and he soon corrupted them. The previously unified humans split into many warring factions. As well as fighting amongst each other, they also wreaked havoc on the Twelve-created wildlife. After several thousand years, they had destroyed one another until only two factions remained: the Shadowclad Empire and the Kingdom. These factions warred and warred, and at last the latter conquered the former, though the Shadowclad lived on as a secret society (like the Freemasons.) The twelve, in their wisdom, still did not choose to destroy them. Instead, they created avatars called dragonforms to observe them unseen, and caused a savior to be born into thier midst: a boy named Angelus Aionus. Angelus was born in the middle of the desert to two travelers. Due to their lack of water, they left him for dead. The dragonforms, however, carried him away and left him on the doorstep of an old man named Jacob Silver. The kind old man took him in and raised him like a son. When he came of age, the dragonforms appeared to him in a dream, telling him of his destiny to save the world and cage pandora. When he awoke he found gifts from all of the Twelve, as well as a magic book called the Necrowombicon in which to capture Pandora.
- A backstory is the background of a character before they are introduced, or is information that affects the character but does not immediately affect the story, if at all.

Backstory in a fanfic that is contradictory to canon or has been contradicted by what has already been said by an original character is a charge. The latter case may not be a charge if the backstory as presented turns out to be what actually happened and the original character is mistaken; however, a backstory that contradicts canon is always a charge. Sometimes, in PPC missions, backstory will be delivered by Captain Exposition.

Forever Knight is unusual in having such flashbacks in almost every episode of the series. Fans often invent their own backstory in order to flesh out the characterization, not just for the protagonist, but also for minor characters (who are often provided with little backstory in canon). Fan fiction exploring backstory may deal with such topics as the hero's childhood or training, key events crystallizing motivation, or first encounters with other characters in the series.
