It's very much a collaborative effort for me. I never really have any sort of... end point in mind for a character. My friends and I just kind of craft stuff mostly organically, sometimes deliberately creating characters to fit an idea building between us and sometimes just kinda throwing stuff until it sticks. I don't really have "Character X's Plot"; it's "our story", which makes sense to me, because if I wanted to just write a story about my character... well, why roleplay? XD We have plots, to be sure, but they're all interconnected and could bend at any moment depending on character actions.
