I usually have a few catchphrases, and a go to "theme" or goal like pirate, or greed, or whatever, and try to stick to that, but otherwise play the PC pretty fast and loose. As far as my PC goes, I am most interested in achieving "cool moments" in play - fun and memorable scenes that I'll remember in years to come. I have come to the view that it is best (for me) to let PC personalities unfold in play. I used to write up paragraphs of history and personality, but it never really got used, or it felt like a limiting factor. I understand where the bonds/flaws concept is coming from, but now I prefer just jumping straight into the game with a name and very brief background (one paragraph max), and then winging it. Letting the PC develop organically I guess? As the sessions roll on, it's interesting to see how the PC develops. Eg: she gets hammered early on and so develops a more cautious and planning attitude. Or he destroys his foes easily and develops a very brazen and bold approach. That sort of thing.</blockquote>
