I mean... its called the 'background' for a reason right? I personally find that there's no reason not to tell the majority of your character's story in the bio. I mean, it fleshes out your character more and makes it easier for us as players to understand. Its not like you really [i]need[/i] mystery and mystique in your character's background, mystique comes from how you play your character in the RP itself, yaknowwhatImean?

Not to mention the drama of people not being in the know doesn't come from players not knowing: It's the characters not knowing. Everyone being in the know OOC leads to being able to pin more dramatic situations where certain past events are exposed to the group

Like Dekkunda being a princess-kidnapper according to his king. Nobody knows that, and won't unless we go to the deku palace. But everyone knows he did it out of character, so its not a curve ball problem out of nowhere later
