Alright..
Well, the background on my character isn't so much built up that well I admit. My first plan was just to jump into an RP because I could, but after a page or two I decided to try and base Andur off of my own personality.
Perhaps you could try and do something along those lines and have your character change to something else that you want.

he grew up jin silvermoon his parents nobles he was only a child when the orcs attacked silvermoon during the war his parents arranged for him to go to dalaran to be an apprentice to a mage
on his journey there his escort was killed by an orc a man saved him a paladin as he was taken back to a monastary he saw the priests and paladins there this was when he decided he was to become a paladin he trained with them until he was an adult he went back to silvermoon to find his parents only to be shunned by them he made a living in silvermoon
until the scourge attacked were he defended a house filled with innocent people he survived the attack watching over and helping with the reconstructionIt's a nice first draft of a background but.... I wouldn't say it's great. The house thing is just random seeing as anyone who stood their ground to fight the Scourge knew it was a death wish, where hopefully they stayed dead and weren't raised as a member of the Scourge. But not sure how you can be a normal paladin if your a blood elf, nearly all of them became part of the Blood Knights, as those were the replacements for the actual Paladins of the Light.
And Hael... no offense man but he's really one dimensional, I mean you can always know what he's going to do the instant he appears: Kill, keep on killing, don't stop killing until he runs into another one of your characters, then he get's scared and runs.

and for the silvermoon thing he was fighting off the main path so there were less scourge then were arthas went through it is kindof random but just showing he doesnt back down from fights no matter how hopless it may seem But there's better ways you could have done that, mainly because the Scourge acted like a Zombie horde, those on the outer edge of the armies would keep killing whenever they found the living so if they would have found a house of the living...... I really doubt one Paladin would have stopped them.
...............Blasted Sept, why did he put that damn idea about me setting up a guide to help people make better backgrounds for their RP toons.

I'm wondering what everyone else's characters are mainly based off of. Skreeran seems to like to not really have a plot often except the usual 'stop the wars' idea.

Heh, hard to tell with mine;
Doomwhisper is about adventure, but she also accepts responsibility and hates to let those she knows are evil to escape, hence why she went after Valinaria so hard in the first part of ToN, but she's also willingly to accept people change.
Martin is different, his past drives him, he joined with the Second war out of obligation to his Master, wanting to keep him safe if he could, so when he was killed at the battle at the Dark Portal, he was broken inside, and returned home to dalaran, to, as stated in Stories of a Magus, his lover/wife Sheril. When she died, he took over looking after his daughter, whos in this rp, and did the best he could till the 3rd war, when he sent her south with his sister and her family.
Grimmjaw is the fun one; he's focused on honour, refusing to step back if he doesn't have to, but wants to be accepted by the Amani even though he is a half breed. He blamed his father for her death... even though she died giving birth to him, so he went hunting for him. I actually like both of the endings for him; the one in Seas and the one in Honour Bound.
Quel'dras.... I hang my head in shame, he was such a sue, and Escape from Icecrown just made him so much worse.

I meant mainly what do you try and base your character off of?
Most of the time the creator has a plot or theme in mind, having some sort of standard or want for their character.
Example is someone wanting to base their character strictly off of beliefs in the Light.
Another would be wanting to go off of something to do with a old hatred of some kind. If I sounded confusing there, I'll try again to clarify.

@adamsm yea thats one massive spell to cast and then to take you all to ironforge teleporting is strenuous aswell but making her stagger would be nice =}
