Well, for ocs, it more becomes a biography section, since most of those are usually covered by canon background/world settings.
So you do the whole 'this is their origin/where they came from', which is made pretty boring if they're not a powered/altered character. Basically school, homelife, etc.
It's a bit argh inducing since it's hard not to add some personality in there, which needs to go and fill out the personality section, which gets mixed up with a little background... so you wind up with this muddled thing that can be hard to differentiate between the two unless you re-read it and cut and chop to make the history/background section more clinical and the personality section less so.
