Warhammer
IV. History
The second to last part in creating a character is working out his/her history. Where was the character born? Who or what where the parents like? Did he or she even have parents?
What lead the character out into adventuring? Has anything ever really, heavily impacted the character to give him/her any special outlooks onto certain people or situations?
A lot of information could be given within this section. It is up to the player on what he/she would like to put within here.
However, remember, just because there was a history written for a character, that doesn't mean that is the end of the history. The basic history, which was made when the character was first created, should be short. The reason is, a short background history leaves a lot of room open for character development during role-playing.
