Personally I think a background/story is less for the person writing it, and more for everyone else they will interact with. It does help to learn something of background... who the character is, what they do.. etc...
Lots of times I see a ship and am curious who they are exactly to be disappointed when there is no story, no background, not even a short bio...
Even if you don't write down the background for all to see, its nice to at least have it, incase say someone asks your name.. etc...
One of my peeves.. is capships with OORP names and no captains..... just a ship with an odd name floating around killing people.
Iâll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because itâs flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
