Sometimes rather than a background, I just try to do vignettes, like a series of little tiny things that happened to him, i.e. a dog stole his sandwich, he ran too fast around a corner and knocked someone over, someone mistook him for someone else.
That way even though it's not covering his history per se, it's still helping me flesh him out, and I can throw him into whatever crazy situations I can come up with. And if I can't come up with anything crazy... to the internet for random story generators!
