Character development questions.

Sun Oct 25, 2009, 1:40 PM
When you make a new character, how do you decide on his or her personality? Do you create the behavior of the character first, or you design how they should look first and then add qualities that seem to fit them best? Or do you have a certain name or theme you want to try, and then create a character?

Depending on the idea that I have in mind, I can either start off with an idea of how i want the character to be or a name, and then i add the design later. I know some people thoroughly look into personality disorders to give their characters and they research the hell out of it before they make a character with said traits/whatever.


Also, after you have created a character, how do you like, i want to say "test", their personality so that you can be comfortable with how they are?

A while back I was in this writing club at my school, and the teacher was pretty cool and he gave us this idea to use that I haven't really thought about using until now. Take a situation that puts your character in a different situation than what they are used to, or put them through obstacles they have to overcome and then write about how they overcome said obstacle/situation/whatever.

I decided I wanted to try this with Thomas. So currently he's about to get stuck in a cave. He also has to find his way out. Goodtimes.



Any thoughts on any of the questions would be nice.
