Do you think they are pointless too? I mean, the person pretty much adds in 15 rows of filler (example; theme music: battle music: Quotes:) they can also repeat themselves (some even put the same thing on 3-4 lines) And they call it "Detail" Last time I checked Roleplaying wasn't 70 % Bios and bio "detail". I get warnings a lot

Why do you measure length in lines and not paragraphs, words or sentences? It's not that it's bad to measure things in lines, but it's an extraordinarily uncommon metric to compare things against. That said, after looking at what fifteen lines is, I am rather surprised at that you think that that's considered long.

You'll get used to reading long stuff. A detailed bio really helps you immerse yourself into the world of the RP. Also, what are you talking about when you say "theme music: battle music:"?

I just found a bio that I wrote that's 24 pages (21 if you exclude blank lines between paragraphs), which can be found here: https://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=183348285 . I tried to force a nickname which, retrospectively, would never have been used, and that makes the CS slightly embarrassing, but that's about it for that one. For the same RP I had a "secret" CS for the same character that I sent to the owner of the RP in a pad, which expanded upon the character's past and may or may not have changed his name a bit. /IlK9f1Pwim on pirate pad is the link, in case you're wondering. Ignore the first CS on the pad, it's the same one as the previous one.
