I'm looking for a good, functional, tight format for biographies for premade PCs - any suggestions? It should fit enough info to get a handle on the character's looks, personality, motivation, and background, but doesn't need to be very thorough (I'm not into long backgrounds; history made in the game is always better than history brought into the game; plus I'm going with "blank checks", where PCs get to fill out details on established contacts during play in a "hey, I know this guy" way).
Right now, I'm thinking about something along the lines of a set of questions with first-person answers ("Who am I? What do I look like? What is important?"). They should be broad enough that I can use the same questions for all the characters and still cover everything that's important about them.
Any ideas? What format do you use?
