Having a higher limit doesn't prevent you from keeping it brief if you value that. If you don't want to read long bios, you can tell how long it is before even starting reading simply by using your eyeballs. It does prevent you from writing your story if it doesn't fit, though. It would give more freedom and take nothing away from anyone. If you're wanting to read people's long bios mid-mission, may I suggest ctrl + A and ctrl + C to read later? I've thesaurus'd, shorthanded, un-punctuated, and chopped up a story beyond recognition and I'm still a dozen characters over. That's including not having spaces after every period. 😢
