i don't like to plot out every detail of a backstory, but i do like to give it a lot of thought. it gives me better foundation on the character and makes it easier to be on familiar terms with. i feel its like reading a good book; the more you know about their past hardships and high points, the more you feel invested with them. i noticed characters i spend little time on tend to feel flat and i'm less attached to them. but the more of their history i develop (counting from what occurs after that point i first start using them) the more i feel their well rounded and have a developed personality. it makes it fun too when i can do little things here and there that nod at something in their past even if it's just something that would be noticeable by only myself or a select few (typically i don't toss their full past out at once. i like it to be a gradually discovered thing x3)
too sexy to keep unhidden
