People who come from happy living homes in fantasy settings have no motivation to risk their lives and that happy home for an adventure.

The things that make the happy loving home work as a background are characters that either want to duck an arranged marriage or are so far down the inheritance chain they are going to be life long mooches if they stay.

What if you were born into a Thornberries esque family, grew up traveling the world as your researcher and adventurer parents did their studies in the wilds, ancient ruins etc.

You fell in love with adventure and ancient mysteries, so after graduating from adventurer college (you were a legacy admission), you intern for [initial quest giver for campaign].

Easy one, done off the top of my head.
