It depends on the person.
I personally don't tend to give my main characters huge backstories, for "discovery" is a key word for me.
I've often seen RPers whose characters had already gone through everything they could even experience in life in their back stories, so the players got bored quickly (or much sooner than I did) when the real RP started.
There are also people who can make that work for interesting plots, however, so it always depends on your playstyle and what you're looking for. I enjoy finding many kinds of characters when I RP.
