I will expand on this point in admitting that I’ve moved away from using elaborate personality descriptions as a GM and as a player. I write list of traits unless I’m in the mood to describe every facet of the psychology and ideology of my character’s emotions and actions – which is a mood that I am not often in because it wastes my time. I’m here to write posts and role-play, I’m not here to spend several weeks on a CS for an experiment that won’t last for more than two months.

Though, I don't agree that one paragraph is enough in detailing a character's backstory. That's just flat out wrong to me.
