The story lines at the beginning of Sense8 for each character are honestly insane…
Nomi - trapped in the hospital against her will with a potential brain condition and her transphobic family
Riley - witnessed a drug robbery and then watches people get shot as she’s being tortured by previously robbed drug dealer
Capheus - trying to fight the local mafia so that he can afford AIDS drugs for his mom
Sun - being forced by her family to take the fall for her brothers illegal actions and sent to prison
Lito - hiding his gayness from the public because if they found out he would lose everything in his life
Kala - culturally pushed into a relationship she does not want to be in with an in-law family that does not respect her or her religion
Wolfgang - fighting against the criminals he was raised with and trying to show them he is better than them and the father that beat him
Will - is a cop

Since sense8 is trending, I would just like to point out that I'm pretty sure the very first step in developing the beloved characters we all know and love today was literally just the wachowskis pulling out a white board and going "how do we put together the queerest heist team of all time?"
Seriously, look:
Getaway Driver: Capheus
Martial artist: Sun
Hacker: Nomi
Grifter: Lito
Hitter, Law Enforcement: Will
Hitter, Criminal With A Heart of Gold: Wolfgang
Chemicals/Demolitions: Kala
Translator/Infiltrator Who Knows Everyone In A Situation: Riley
Mastermind: They're Literally All Sharing The One Brain Cell
(Bonus:
Optimistic Newbie With Stubborn Streak: Amanita
Funding/Moneybags: Rajan
Plucky Best Friend/Lockpick: Felix
Veteran Hacker: Bug
Artsy Scholar/Love Interest: Hernando
Grifter/Criminal With A Heart of Gold pt. 2: Daniela
Love Interest, Defecting From Law Enforcement Addition: Mun)
