I likely stick with my char concept (cleric/warlock), I would prefer that my char is on same graduation class (meaning she graduates same time as PC's in the fighter academy). What comes to writing past events; I would like a relative freedom to describe how my char was doing and what trials if any she faced and overcame and such. But nothing overly dramatic like 'saving the city' or such :P. Naturally needing GM's approval for the written events.
