If she wants it all, so be it. But if I can't come up with an NPC background on the fly, I probably need to take a break from GMing for a while. :)
That's where PbP is so nice--if I don't have it in my little notebook, I can take a leisurely afternoon to think it up. Though I have several little notebooks, and know the Fate and Destiny of every significant character. If someone resonates Nameless Waiter...well, I have that leisurely afternoon to doubt the player's sanity. :)

I like the scenario where there was a God...probably...but He hasn't sent any messages since Metatron was killed. And there's a theory, small but growing among the few angels who allow themselves such doubts, that God is dead, or silent, or a story their elders thought up. That they're really fighting for a principle and not the Lord, and that victory is not assured. They don't tell Laurence or the other Malakim for fear of breaking them with it, or being exiled for heresy.
