And this is what I got back. IS it just me or is there something wrong?

I want a FULL background. I want to know how you got magic, who taught you,
I want to know what motivates the character, what the like to eat, how many
times a day they pee. what type of women (men) they like, whatever.

I want a FULL BACKGROUND.

Personally, My reply to Threl would go something like this:
I don't know what kind of pervert you are [when my character pisses makes
zero differance] but urination and who my characters teacher was have
extremely miniscule differances in role playing. Hell I can't even
remember who my teachers were...
And that would probably be the last time I spoke to Threl

I thought your background was too terse, also, Threl. The idea seems to be
to give enough detail so that the MUSH people will have a good idea of what
to expect from your character. _You_ presumably have an idea of how he'll
react, where he learnt his stuff, etc. etc. Just put it all down. Think about
his likes and dislikes - that should please the MUSH people.
