I'll start off by saying that I'm a big fan of casual RPing, and I frankly don't put a ton of stock in having bios. However, I do put a ton of stock in having well defined concrete characters with fully fleshed out concepts, and having a good character bio is one way to make sure that your character is fleshed out in all the right areas. We require character bios here mostly just for reference, so people can know who their characters are interacting with, or just so they can stalk you. However, writing a bio is a good way for you to meet your own character. Unfortunately, I've seen a good number of character bios that are just plain crap. (not here necessarily, but just around the internet in my time roleplaying.) One thing that helped me back when I was a wee one, just starting to roleplay, is this excellent resource for building character bios, and just fleshing out and creating characters in general. I think it's important enough that I'm going to ask everyone to read it before making their characters (or even if you just want to tweak yours and make them better!) This thread will also serve as a chat thread for comments and critiques on bios. Please remember to be respectful, and also remember that this thread is to have a positive influence on a character. If someone says something bad about your bio (I myself tend to be quite harsh and blunt, it's one of my faults) it's only meant to help you.
