kit lecter 🦇👹#WordWeavers Apr. 03 — For which characters do you come up with a backstory?
All of them have a backstory, even if it doesn't always make it into the story proper. I like to see what makes people tick and for that you need to know what they've been through, as it impacts how they react to different things. So if a character has more than just some incidental lines never to be seen again, they have a backstory, even if they're only a minor side character.
It also makes my life easier. It wouldn't be the first time (or the second, or the third) a minor SC decided they needed to be upgraded to a main SC further down the line...!
