I will spend literal hours on backstories and worldbuilding that no one but me cares about. :-)
LOL you and me both. :D I recently played a short Vaesen campaign in which I had a super elaborate backstory that informed the way I played the character, but most of it didn't come out, so I spilled during the last session:
She carries a rose and a book of poetry with a dedication in it and wears widow's black. Also she carries lockpicks. She's an academic.
I was required to have a dark secret, so her dark secret was that someone wronged her late wife so she literally broke into a fellow academic's office with her lockpicks and stole their research and published it as her own! :D Also I had a tragic story about what happened to the wife, but that was mostly from the manual.
