I've always been partial to Elf-like characters, so my two primary characters are Elezen. That's the easy part.
Ciel has existed in some form or another over the past 15+ years of my RP history, off and online. She has always been several degrees different from some of her previous incarnations. So far, I like the current one the best.
Character creation on the whole is a fluid process. You can try to create a character from a mold, using ideas you have in your head, but what you think works at the beginning might end up not fitting so well. Don't be afraid to change your ideas. This is how characters evolve and grow and become their own entities over time.
Glace is a very different case as far as his history and development. He didn't exist prior to this past year, and he honestly started with a single string of dialogue which popped into my head while I was half asleep. The following day, I went to work trying to figure out what sort of character would say those words. At first, the intention was to make a character which was wholly insane, but that idea eventually got pushed aside and the character was sculpted into something quite a bit more terrifying, while still capable of displaying some humanity when it counts.
