To be technical I included optional bio in my Rp because of Scott's whining not Catgirl's... he just took advantage of it.

Oh God, please don't make an X-Men RPG.  Save us... if this is made, there would be too many similarities. Plus, original ideas, rather than RP's based on shows or movies, are much better. You get to manipulate the world how you like without being tethered by restrictions set in the previously made world. And I agree with Kyzak on the topic of bio fulfillment. Kevin, Scott, whoever you are, you guys should really stop and think. RP's are a game, yes. But they're a story, too. Imagine a story with a main character that has no personality. It would be like reading a first person shooter. It just doesn't work. Bio's and backgrounds are essential to a healthy RP environment. It makes everything more enjoyable. Plus, it's not like you're being forced to do something terrible. Writing a bio gives you the opportunity to create your own personal, adaptable character. You can change anything you want about him/her. You could say he has basketballs for feet and is seven feet tall. It doesn't matter, the possibilities are endless. But, all in all, what I'm trying to say is that if you want to have fun and allow everyone else to have fun, make a fun backstory for your character. Give him the personality you want and watch him grow.

Anything can be fair or a godmod, it depends on the user. Kikicya is a pretty good rper, if she had it it would probably be okay
