Hey Judd, I just want to say thank you for including the back of the sheet in the character writeups. I've been looking for examples of that for quite some time.

Man is it important.
What I really wanted to make clear in this AP write-up is that different people process that kind of background info differently.
Pete and I are so much in tune with one another after years of discussing books, movies, comics and such that he just flipped his sheet over, grabbed a pencil and started writing.
Aaron needed to talk it out and then write it out. His ideas were in his head but if I just left him there to write it, it was not going to happen and that is fine. We play these games in groups so that we can bounce shit off one another. All of Aaron's great ideas were locked in his head and just needed a touch of coaxing and lots of fun conversation.
My dad, who is not playing in this game but made up a Dictionary of Mu character a few years ago, would sit there, processing for a few minutes - asking some questions about the setting after reading a dictionary entry, then write furiously, not wanting to be interrupted.
With the back of the character sheets, we need to watch out for these different methods and let the context get out into the world however it needs to.

Just ran across this thread:
Character Concept Brainstorm with my Girlfriend
And not only do I love it because of personal reasons, it seems to line up with some of this thread's ideas about the process of making shit up together, particularly making up that player character.
