His history is just about fully fleshed at this point, his personality is pretty much set. He talks on his own [not sure how many of you are familiar with that sort of thing] so, for the most part? He's done.....
Mine do too. My typical character scenario is this:
I learn of a game/world I want to join. I read up on it and the races/cultures/lore of it.
Then, I wait... and chat with other folks joining me... Sometimes is a long wait before suddenly, I get a 'sense' of a character (sometimes that sense doesn't happen til char creation though...), then... I let them just talk. Let them -become-. I learn who and what they are, they tell me bits and pieces... I give them a face.
Then... I RP... and I begin to learn EXACTLY who they are and how they feel and interact. I am constantly surprised by what comes out of their mouths or what they do.
I like to think of myself as the 'medium through which my character speaks.' -I- am the puppet, not the puppetmaster, in other words. They come alive in my mind and some... just... won't leave. Ever. haha
So glad to hear I'm not alone in this. I jokingly referred to myself having a form of schizophrenia and Disassociative Disorder... it's that bad when I really get IC with those I resonate with. haha
