Its not a traditional bio, but I think it works. It sounds a little like the dramatic quotes some fantasy and science fiction novels use between sections to set the scene. As in: "When the twelfth moon sets, evil will again rise. - The Scrolls of the Ages" (bad example, but hopefully you get what I mean.) That seems apropriate to the episodic nature of gaming.
Mc. Kenzie has a point. It isint the best you could find, but a decent bio and it DOES fit into the world of gameing. <font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre> 87483579 </pre><hr />
With space allowed, I think it looks great. It makes sense and gives the character's background and motivation.
All of my character's have run into the problem of not having enough room for the full bio. Having to be concise I think makes for a fun challenge, and really, any longer and nobody is going to read it anyway.
One way I found to deal with that is to make a condensed, "teaser"version of the bio in your regular bio space and then get as long-winded as you want in an email you send to yourself and can simply forward if anyone asks for it.
Hi guys this is my character's in game biography. I managed to fit it in the tiny space where you can write a biography. (Sheesh I really had to condense it!) Anyways, what I am curious about is should I refine it even more? I am already at the max limit for space so I can't really fit anymore. Just curious what you guys thought.

I was a mighty warrior of Sanctuary. The forces of Sanctuary were crushed by the Legacy of Steel. The Sleeper, a demon locked beneath the Earth, was freed by Legacy of Steel. The Sleeper destroyed the world and nearly all of humanity. Thus, the age of Magic ended and humans had to begin a new. -Journal of Ultimus, 700,000 BC

For the Sleeper had corrupted them and they were beyond redemption. I acquired the methods, training, and knowledge to destroy them. The god of Earth's armor granted me unlimited protection and the god of War granted me the strength of a titan. -Journal of Ultimus, 600,000 BC

He is a Stone/Super Strength Tanker. The problem I am having is space limitation, thus, it sounds probably like a 5th grader wrote it.
I'm just curious what others thought.
