Fuck You, I'm a Robot

That's actually the method she used with my character. I don't know how much of the backstory I created is going to be used in the game, and a lot of it was really just cribbed from my own life, but it did help me flesh out the character. (Oddly, the most interesting answer I had was for the character's favorite color...grey, the color of paranoia and mystery. The girl has decided that she's going to help my character become Sworn of the Mysteries.) I based the character on myself in the first place, anyway. My other two characters are very different, and it's easier to come up with backstories for them.
