Hmmm.
This subject has always fascinated me. Â I draw a lot of influence from archetypes with elements from literature, music, television, movies, things that I enjoy. Â I do draw on certain parts of myself to a small degree but often try and put the elements of myself in juxtaposition with things that I -don't- display.
Specifics are difficult but some common themes that I do try and work into my characters are love of song and/or dance, intelligence (often my characters are smarter than they appear/act), and a love of all things esoteric- though my current characters have trended away from that towards more 'mundane' studies.
I like introspecting into the influences that drive a character, I think it helps encourage people to create three-dimensional personalities.
