So... It might be good to have an idea of what your character is, what is the concept behind, and also how does that tie to the lore maybe?
Looking at your pic, you seem to play a lalafell? Maybe you can already dive a bit in lalafell lore? Will your character be a dunefolk, or plainfolk? Is he a literal part of their traditions and customs? Does he live in Uld'ah, or elsewhere? Or has he totally strayed from his background and wanders around?
As for the concept, it's a archetype (or several) that you are looking for, really. Nothing more. Tropes, basically. Is your character a dashing rogue? A shrinking violet? A tsundere? A pirate scared of blood? A stuck up archaeologist? Whatever you fancy! There is virtually no limit here. And that's where you literally flesh out your character 3 dimensionally (hint: use strong keywords to serve as pillars to define his personality and traits, 3 to 5-6 max).Â
For example my character is defined around -Quirky, Nosy, Crafty, Scatterbrain, Punk, Self-driven (want to look cool and be cool). Those words are the literal basis around which you will weave everything else. They are also your failsafe when you are actually RPing, the cement you can always go back to refer to if you are lost on how your character would react.
Once you have done that, how does your character personality tie with his background story? How does his past explain his personality traits? Or the other way around?
( I'm not exactly exhaustive here so if you have questions or anything, don't hesitate to tell me to elaborate on things )
