** In ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland2LeChucksRevenge'', his parents are mentioned several times although it is left ambiguous what they actually do. It's further left ambiguous whether Guybrush is a real 17th-century adult or just an imaginative kid lost in a "Pirates of the Caribbean"-type ride.

* Like all humans in ''VideoGame/{{Wynncraft}}'', the PlayerCharacter [[LaserGuidedAmnesia has no memory of their homeland, Fruma.]] During the quest Recover the Past, where a wizard uses a magical orb to dispel humans' amnesia of Fruma, the player inadvertently breaks the orb when the procedure is tried on them, leading to the above quote.

This has never been the case; Sonic 2's manual established Tails was shunned by the island's people because of his tails, and Origins would confirm other foxes live on the island.


* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''. Other than a mention of his birthplace [[note]]Christmas Island[[/note]] in the Japanese manual for [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 the original game]], his past isn't elaborated upon at all. Tails also comes close, with slight elaboration. It's not clear how he was born on an island that he was the only inhabitant of, though.

* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'': While she does have several non-canon backstories, and even a DecoyBackstory, Creator/{{Capcom}} has given Ada no canon past for anything prior to the first game. There is no information on where she was born, what her childhood was like, and even her birth name is unknown[[note]]the only thing definitively known is that Ada Wong is a pseudonym[[/note]]. Her entire backstory remains a complete mystery.

* ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'': To the extent you can describe them as 'protagonists', the seven starting dwarves from Fortress Mode are generated out of whole cloth, without the usual procedurally-generated history including a birthplace and relatives.
* The player character of ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' wakes up in the middle of nowhere and starts punching trees. [[NoPlotNoProblem Not that the game has much plot in general.]]
