My name isn't Jesus. It's The Q. You should know this by now.
Anyway, as I was just saying, in my opinion I just don't see much of a point to a backstory unless you are a character of a comic. Otherwise, who cares?
I hate to be so blunt, but really, if we know who is avatar is, what do we do with that information? In ABR, it could help us interact with the character better. But, say, just at the forums? I just don't get it.
It's like handing out business cards and you don't have a job. It just makes little sense.
