Answer :

Do you perchance mean role-playing games rather than Dungeons & Dragons specifically? If so, then, maybe you mean what is generally called “lifepath” character generation? That is, systems where you generate a character by some procedure that represents the character’s life before they enter play? If so, then yes. Perhaps the first such published RPG system was Traveller.
