We've all heard actors say this but what about players? I putting together a list I'd like to hand out to my group on some index cards and let them pick some out to get the started.
Here's what I've come up with so far:
The life of a simple farmer is not what they want to do
seek a lost sibiling/friend that went on a journey/quest
rumor of something interesting on the “other side of that hill over there” plain adventrous spirit
your character seeks glory for some reason possible to restore his/her lost honor or that of a family member
your tired of being a poor simple farmer you want money and lots of it
you've offended somebody/broken a law/etc.. and whatever you did it's coming to the light of day soon so you need to leave before you get in trouble/beat up/imprisoned/etc...
You've had a vision of some sort a spirit of a dead loved one/friend. You were given a clue to something important you've been seeking
I'd like to see what kind of list I can get going the more the better.

You could make it more abstract, something along the lines of: "Fame", "Fortune", "Fun", "Knowledge", "Power" (as in political power), "Wanderlust", etc.

You sat down at your friend's kitchen table and you want to roll dice, kill things, and take their stuff?

Very good idea Bestial, some great tables here too. I think this would really help someone new to the game who is unsure how to run their character or role play in general--gives them something concrete to work from. I've noticed a few times that the person i gave background material to made it much more of a focus than even I had intended--to the betterment of the game.
