I talk and post about my characters in the context of their class stories quite a lot because I love the stories, I love the companions and playing through in-character is one of my main sources of enjoyment in the game, not to mention a great source of potential character development.
However, I consider all the class stories 100% not-canon for my characters, so they all have a ‘real’ story completely separate from their class stories, companions, etc., which is much more developed. (In some cases I didn’t start development on these til after I finished the class stories, and in others I already had plans before I even began). I tend to post about this stuff less, because I feel like it’s probably of less interest to people, not to mention the closer to ‘original’ content things get, the more nervous I get about sharing them, but if your characters have any interactions with mine, expect me to talk your ear off about my characters’ actual places in the universe u_u
That’s just how I like to do things, though, and I am equally happy to read stories about, enjoy art of, or share interactions with characters who are 100% independent from their class stories or 100% reliant on them, or anywhere in-between. Personally, the only time I think it matters whether you use the class story or not is in open world RP. For art, fic or private RP or plotting, my vote is that you do whatever you find the most fun.
