I think the subject says it all. How much time do you spend on what came before? Do you use it in character development or the setting? I've been thinking about it lately as I have started an outline for something, and I find that the little backstory I was trying to cobble together for one of the main characters is turning into quite a story in itself, although more of an epic kind.

I think it ought to be important for important characters, but in this sense I have not quite established any style yet.
Actually I have a problem with this - I have a certain kind of character in mind that I would like to create for some future stories, but I just can't decide what kind of background would suit her.

This brings up my problem nicely - it cannot be too dark, but it cannot be too easy on her either. Neither would feel right given to what she'll be like. Not that I have entirely decided that either.You can try a dark past full of blood and guts
or try one with flowers and bunnys
. For me i'd go with the blood
