Though I am in support of it being optional, I stand by comments I have made in a previous thread that I think people should create bios for characters, and I strongly encourage them for new writers specifically.

It helps me flesh out who the character is, and it helps me stay consistent when writing them because it gives me something I can refer back to.

If it is true that profiles being mandatory is scaring people away from writing here, then I think it's okay for it to be optional. But I don't think that writing a few words about your characters to introduce them is that hard and creating them can help improve your season drastically because it gets everyone, including the writer, familiar with them before the season begins.
