Biography styles

[Fnord]

Hey, writing a bio or two to get caught up will pass the time while Ginka is in the Vividuan temple. I'm an English nerd and write them out in Word with spell check, a monotype font because special characters make my client sad, copy/paste them in a line at a time, then let .i work its magick. Anyone else waste that much time on these things?

Mine look something like this

5. [date]  Resigned from Kadius to work for Rennik

After a year and a half with Kadius, Amos finally got promoted. He has been waiting for this and even considered killing Malik, the previous Junior Merchant, to increase his chance of promotion, but Malik died from constipation and saved Amos the risk and trouble of arranging the death. Amos looks forward to his new job and hopes that he can finally deal with more than the poor, gritty commoners.

Basically whenever something significant happens, and they're written in the same style as the initial background but usually shorter and in less detail.

I have yet to write bios for any of my characters, but you all have made some good points. I think that's what I'm going to do tonight since Ginka is still in the ICU.
