IMPORTANT: Should we require biographies?

Staff has been considering making Biographies a requirement for roleplaying on site. Similar to tags, these required biographies would serve as a means of a structured, standardized "tag" system where a character essentially writes a mini-snapshot of who they are, what they're like to plot with, and what they're about.

In doing this, it would allow for a place for characters to plot together, become more interested in character development, and serve as a platform to ask yourselves how your characters fit into the world of BoB! These biographies would be 'staff approved' in the sense that we would look them over, just to make sure you were following the rules and seemed to have a general idea of how your character fits in the world (i.e, are they a no-good looker in a leather jacket, ready to cause chaos, and more likely to make enemies instead of friends? Or a sunflower loving little girl who loves her family more than anything else in the world?) 

It would NOT or EVER serve as a means of only allowing "advanced" writers or characters on site, but instead standardizing the system in which we currently represent characters and make it a bit easier to plot and develop on site! Let us know if you think that this should be implemented! As we try to turn our attentions towards development, this may or may not be a good start for encouraging more complex and detail-oriented encounters between characters, but given it would be a big change, we need to ensure that you guys, as the roleplayers, want to see it!

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in this thread!
