Some of you have had your characters solidly built into your brains for years. You know how they would react in any situation, their favorite music, their favorite colors, people who they would admire, everything.
But others of you just created your characters last week. You barely even know what they look like. This post is for you.
First of all, you need to know what your characters look like. If you can art, you can draw them. If you can't, check out websites like Rinmaru Games or Dolldivine, or choose from hundreds of mobile apps. I've drawn my characters, made them on both websites and a few apps, and I can now see them vividly in my mind. It doesn't hurt to write a lengthy description in their character sheet, however you want to do that.
Then you'll need to know the basics of their personality. I like to write short stories about my characters, but a description of their personality on their character sheet will do.
After this, they'll need a backstory. Just keep writing and deleting until something good pops up. They'll need a country of origin, a family, old friends, old crushes, an old home: a well fleshed-out past.
Then, you can get to know them however you want. Just try not to seem crazy 😊.
