It is highly recommended to create a background for your character, from personalty to why they act that way, to who they were before the outbreak.
There are some things that people won't know (such as the source of the outbreak) and claiming knowledge of such would simply be your character lying, or being very confused.
If you decide you want to play a subrace you do need to create a background that works for the applied for race. This will show the DMs that you have knowledge of the race you desire to play.
Remember, if you go too crazy with things that happened in your past (earning the personal hatred of a known evil dragon) people may decide your character is a liar.
Using the forums to post a copy of your background will earn you and XP bonus. It may also inspire a DM to do something with it for a plot.
