a person who has the same routine and stories for 20+ years, and can not comprehend anything outside of the lifestyle they live. They have few short term goals and even fewer long term. Their work ethic is hodge-podge, and the extent of the climax of their day is what they are having for dinner and who won the women's soccer finals. Background people will typically be gossips and are the main consumers of Time and Forge magazine. They are also consumed in there own feelings and only understand their own problems. Main sign of not being a background person is being driven mad by hanging out with background people.
Background person: "I can't believe John broke up with Trish"
Main person: "...yep"
Background person: "I wonder what's for lunch today?"
Main person: "...yep"
Background person: "I wonder what's for lunch today?"

Anyone who indulges in a number of malicious or ill-intentioned schemes or deceit in order to slander or cause harm to someone else. This includes, but is not limited to: sharing deep personal secrets about others, manipulating others to do your bidding and then discarding of them when they are no longer of use, lying compulsively to take advanatge of someone's emotions, ridicule or blackmailing to the point where the victim goes into seclusion, and just generally being a hate-filled being with a desire to screw over anyone for the sake of it. These people tend to have some sort of mental defect such as sociopathy or narcissism, though this is definitely not the rule.
