If your character has a family, a mentor, or other important person in his/her life, pleae create a brief description for the DMs.  At a minimum, have a picture or physical description, a list of characterists (for RP purposes), a suggested class, and few suggested skills.

Consider it homework

Fuck homework. There is a reason I dropped out of school

On a more serious note, I would like something similar. A backstory would be nice, to be divulged over gameplay discussions and as our characters get to know each other. I really like to see pictures of characters, when possible, as it gives me a really good feel for the character. 

On a final note:  Please try to reference locations in game in your backstory.  The more a part f the word you are at the beginning, the better.
