Oh my goodness, this.
I'm not really sure what to think of it.
If you're playing as your own, original species, I get it.
But, if you're a dragon, you're most likely NOT the last one.
Personally, it's annoying as a bunch of little toddlers on caffeine.
It may just be me, but I think it's a personal thing, and a slightly in-depth-thinking reason.
While I have no plans to study it, I often wonder about human emotions.
So, I often question things like this.
If you're the last one...
Then you would most likely be depressed about it, or wounded, or terrified that your species will end, being as you alone cannot continue the species line without a mate.
You would be emotionally a wreck, due to the fact that your entire family, friends, and everyone else is dead. Unless the species is fairly solitary, but still.
You would hold the note that your ENTIRE species will die with you.
Yet people love to scream out "I'M THE LAST OF MY SPECIES!" like it's no big thing.
And I understand why.
It makes them feel special, unique, and free of restrictions.
It makes them feel like they're the special one.
But seriously, think about the emotional point. >:I

I do think it's overused, most definitely. However, I don't think it's something to look down upon as being unimaginative. Some stories for characters do require the absence of a society, pack, pride, family, or whatever the character came from. Either one, you don't want to bother with an entire family story and you can't find people to play them, could be a number of reasons why. Then there are some backstories that people like to create where they are "rebuilding" their family or homeland. Personally, I do like the side of being the last of a family or pack and repairing what was lost before. It usually depends how it was lost in the first place and how the future generation plans to rise back up to catch my interest. As far as being "The Last One" just to be the last, it can be seen as cliche.
Being the last of a family or pack, I can see.
That's cool, and often can lead to an interesting character if done right.
The lone she-wolf, searching for the rest of her life to re-build the pack that had crumbled away due to _____.
While it can lead to slight mate-begging by nooblets, it's still interesting.
My Final Words about this?:
Dem emotions bro, dem emotions.
