Backstory to me is important to a point.
As people have said; too much backstory causes problems with the future, and too little makes the character hard to understand.
An example of too little is Memenu; a lalafell brought into existence by the pleas and wishes of lalafell who suffer through Eorzea as a sole prayer for help.
Until this point; there's literally nothing about her, and her time (albeit short on Eorzea) still may not be enough to fully flesh her out.Â
Originally, the whole Primal thing was a joke, she was originally a Pope (which was an in-guild pun that somehow became rather popular), and mutated into her becoming a Primal because it apparently became a running gag in the linkshell I'm in. (Non-RP linkshell, sadly.)
tldr I think I'm hi-jacking the thread, sorry.
