Connections between characters can be a tricky thing to create when first starting a new RPG campaign.
In the FASA Star Trek system, we were simply assigned to a ship and that’s that.
In FASA Doctor Who, the Time Lord picked up his companions.
In D&D it was usually a meetup in a pub.
In superhero RPGs it sometimes turned out like the tryout scene in Mystery Men.
In Star Wars it’s usually an underground Rebel meeting or mission.
In our latest D&D 5e campaign the 3 PCs simple met up in town at a local tavern, along with my NPC sidekick bear. A couple of us belong to the same backstory organization (Order of the Gauntlet).
