I'm the type that creates the basic framework first, and then throws that character into the world to see what they end up building onto and under that frame!Â
I usually only have a idea of what I want the character to be like, for example their base personality, still without the quirks or mannerisms. It might be just a concept of a "a quiet bookworm", "Tall scarred ex-nunh" etc.Â
After that I put them into the world, start RPing them, and watch them grow in that enviroment. At that point I start wondering what made the character to act like they do, or react to certain things like they do, or why are they there, at that very moment. And that way I slowly build up their backstory! Sometimes the character even takes a completely different direction from what I was initially planning.
Sometimes the backstory never gets shared and just works as a base, or a pool I can pull from when I imagine what's going on in my character's head. It depends how open the said character is, some of mine wouldn't talk about their past to anyone, others would be happy to talk when asked.
