I thought, for those interested, I might make a thread for people who like to write some background for their character. I know it's not to everyone's taste, but it helps me immerse myself in the game and setting. So I thought I'd start this off with my own little biography. Feel free to add your own :)

Background
Gene Deimosa was born to Leo and Sophia Deimosa in Illinois shortly after the pale wars began. Having fled to New York, Sophia went into labor but unfortunately died due to complications during Gene's birth. Gene's father was distraught and forever after rather than embracing Gene as the lasting memory of Sophia he only resented her and eventually abandoned her never to see her again.
For the most part Gene was brought up by her grand parents Irene and Leto Deimosa. Due to the wars and the eventual Terra forming, Gene had a hard childhood and had to adapt quickly to the changing world circumstances. Close to 20 her grandfather died of an illness leaving only her grandmother, but she was a strong and intelligent woman and knew that one day Gene would have to make her own path in the world.
After insuring her grandmother was well taken care of, Gene set off in search of work, returning to Illinois she heard that there was work to be found to the south in what was once St Louis, now known as Defiance. There she found work with Von Bach Industries, which has lead her to exploring the area that was once San Francisco.
Relations with other species
Gene holds no grudges against the aliens, through her grandmother she grew to understand why the aliens had come to Earth and realised there was very little choice in the matter. As such she treats them like any other person, although she's not without making quips depending on someones species.
