Here is some based on some of my characters.
38. Recalled: You did your duty, you survived, and best of all... you retired. Now some peaple nock on your door and expect you to go on and help them save the world! I mean its a good cause, but you deserve some rest, dont you?
39. Child: you lost your family (perhaps taken, seperated, murdered, ect.) and you wander the streets alone. Your young age mean peaple dont take you as seriously as they should,but that just gives you an opening. you seek strong peaple to protect you and further your goals, which could be anything from finding your family to just living.
40. Saved, and in debt: You were hurt, scared, broken, and alone. But through prayer, or perhaps just some higher power being curious, you were saved. Now you dedicate yourself to your saviour. perhaps it has a hands off additude, and allows you to find your own path. It could instead start to direct your goals, for good or for evil.
41. Shattered: A horrible event left your mind scarred. Perhaps you now have multible personalities, parinoid that your socks are consireing with the trees, or are afraid of nearly everything. For whatever reason your unstable mind has granted to strange power, from divine fire to unnatural reflexes.

42. Redeeming Your Past: You were a surviver growing up. You did what you needed to in order to survive. Perhaps you stole, or lied or killed. No matter what it was, you did things that you regret. You adventure now, not for yourself, but to make retribution for your crimes. You might not be able to make it up for those you hurt, but you can make it so no one has to go though it again.

My current character's got a very complex background, so I'll make a few out of his:
43. Chosen of the gods. The gods blessed your life, giving you talents and chances above and beyond what you deserved. Perhaps it's time to use those talents in their honor. The spellcasting Ioun granted you, the swordsmanship Kord granted you, the stealth Sehinane blessed you with; these can all be repaid by glorious service.
44. Bored nobleman. Why sit around all day and train to become a courtier or a priest, when you could be out being a hero! Saving innocents, slaying dragons, making something special out of your life.
45. Historian. Your studies have served you well, but you long for more information on an esoteric subject. Perhaps it's time to go hunt that information out with some bodyguards to protect you.

46. You fail, it's my turn now. For whatever reason you feel that the guy (or gal or other) currently in charge, for lack of a better word, sucks. Be this the mayor, baron, duke, king, emperor... or even a deity (demi-god paragon path, anyone?), you feel that you should be the one in charge... after all, it's not like you could do any worse, is it?

48. My Other Plans Fell Through...: Maybe you and some friends were starting a business venture, a musical band, a church, etc. For whatever reason, your collectives dreams were busted and now you are left alone, far from home. Adventuring isn't your first love but it'll have to do for now.

49. Drafted. You had two choices: become [s]cannon mage fodder in the army, or get the hell out of dodge and become an adventurer. You chose the latter. After all, a raging dragon is less lethal than that sorry excuse for "food" the military would try to foist off on you.

50. For my hometown! You left home for one reason, to help the peaple you grew up with. Perhaps they have some sort of plague and your looking for the cure. Or looking for a new, cheap, food stuff. Perhaps even looking to bring more peaple to your community. Whatever the reason you hope to one day do home with your mission accomplished.

51. Somebody's gotta do it..
There are things out there that need to be done... People to be saved, wrongs to be righted, battles to be won. You may be the only one with the skills for it, or simply in the right place to be able to help, but duty/honor/responsibility compels you to do what you can when someone needs your help.
52. Why Me?!?!
Adventure follows you like a plague. You're always in the wrong place at the right time. If there's a prophecy, it's about you - you've been Chosen by everyone to do everything. Cursed swords find you like magnets. Dragons fall out of the sky in front of you when you're in an underground cave. You can't seem to live a normal quiet life no matter where you run or hide.
You spend every waking moment that you're not running for your life or saving the world complaining loudly about it and whining incessantly.
Spoiler:
Show
I am the Magic Man.
(Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.)
I am the Lawnmower Man.
(I AM GOD HERE!)
I am the Skull God.
(Koo Koo Ka Choo)
There are reasons they call me Mad...
