So what is the preferred thing with a story where 'you' are the main character? Keep it as generic as possible and let the reader decide how they act or react to events?
I tend to lean in the opposite direction, I like detailed people with detailed histories, especially in a made up setting, but then again like I've mentioned, I don't have a whole lot of experience with CYOAs.
Personally as a reader I enjoy slipping into the skin of a character and for a time seeing the world as I do, assuming the writer feeds me the information I need in a natural or at least interesting way. I am okay with this even with IF, which I guess is the closest medium to CYOAs, but again, I don't really know what the norm is.
