I prefer RPing, then writing character sheets honestly. I prefer showing a character through actions and dialogue, then by writing a biography and a list of traits.

This. Definitely this. I actually despise writing up character sheets, but do it since almost all RPs require it. I just feel that once I have something down in a character sheet I'm forced to stick to it. That's hard since the flow of a RP can make me imagine certain traits of my characters much differently.
