Introduction
If you are looking for Dungeons and Dragons material to use or reference from their is a collection of PDF's found here for members only Content Books
An Introduction to your character should be like the blurb on the back of a DVD box. Something interesting and gripping to make the reader wat more.
A brief summery of your character as a whole currently. a good physical description can go here too. People wanna know what you look like.
Any wishes, goals or aspiration your character may want.
Any quirks or teases to dark pasts.
Remember aside from your physical description keep tings brief. this is most likely going to be the part you show to your Dungeon Master. They have a lot of work and can't ready through everything. so snappy and important information should be here.
History
Here you can stick that reaallly long Backstory you have. If your introduction has hooked then they will continue reading here. However for any Dungeon master you may be trying to convince to let you play. everything they need to know should be put in the introduction.
This is also a good place to post updates to campaigns your character may have played in. If you are like me you may want to take the same character through multiple campaigns and having a log of their adventures can go a long way to making them feel special.
If you feel like making a full on story about your character you can create one here Stories or simply stick it here under a new header.
