Character Questionnaire

As a DM I like to know as much as possible about the characters who are participating in the story I am weaving with my game. I want to know exactly what they look like and where they are from.  The more they can tell me the better. If that character has a long lost love I want to know. If they are one half of a pair of twins that is something I feel I need to know. I have a character questionnaire that I have my players fill out before we start a new game.  This is the minimum that I want from my players and if they want to come with more and add on to it that is great!  Since I know I am not the only DM out there who does this I thought I would share my Character Questionnaire. Here it is:

Do you have a character questionnaire that you have your players fill out? What questions do you ask? What information do you want from your players?
