well, the way i create my characters is by observing how poeple act and look. my book has a mix of traits from my friends, people ive seen on tv, family, or just people who i just see while im at the store or something. the fun part of it is that u can mix up thier looks and attitides to make up new characters. the hard part is nameing the charracter, sorry, icant help u with that!!!

its fine i have pleanty of names, thank you very much.
Okay this is kinda of a toughey cause its different for every writer. I start with a real physical person that I like or dislike.(Depending on the character) I take that person's personality and come up with a back story that's completely different from the real, yet still explains there personality and motivations. I hope that helped :)
well every age group has a way of acting,little kids are curious, a little bit older they like to get praise and approval from an adult. At thirteen kids are more aware of each other and like to experiment in life. AT like 15 it is the same thing but on a different level. At like 20 kids show a sort of freedom from not having o go to school.., and if i went on i'm afraid my computer might fall asleep. But what i'm saying is that you can base characters on their age and what kids are usually like at their age, but also switch so maybe a young girl is mature for her age being forced into it by her environment. Lol, if my essay there helped at all, great. Also (sorry theres more lol) if keep things sort of real if your doing a story about this world, so don't make a character to brave at the start, otherwise there is no change in them throught the story. Okay Now im finished.. wait theres more, nah kidding
Hm...Well, I create my characters in a variety of ways. Watching people, how they act, I find that help.
Uh...People you know.
Names, as well. Just looking at different names ussually makes me think of a character to go with it :p
Well, usually my characters are derived from people I know, or characters in shows or books, but most of the time I make up my own characters. Once I have the personality down, I come up or look up unique names that fit the character's personality... Hope that helped ^_^
