Backstory Submission
RESOURCES ON WRITING AND SUBMITTING A GOOD CHARACTER HISTORY
Being invested in your character and their history is excellent for facilitating good roleplay. However, since we see many backgrounds and stories, we ask that the version you provide us is less than two pages. Bullet points are strongly encouraged, especially if your story is complex.
We’ve also included some external writing guides that can get you started! If you’re looking for guidance, inspiration, or other writing help these links will definitely help you out.
