Playing a character the likes of which is constantly subjected to scrutiny, a meticulously planned and thorough backstory has proven to be extremely necessary and extremely valuable for a number of reasons. The first and most important being that it establishes narrative credibility by outlining how this exceptional circumstance came to be. Creating a well thought out backstory that can be viewed publicly also has the added benefit of providing a degree of personal credibility for myself as a player by demonstrating the thought and work I have put into the character.
