Comment with one of my characters (past or present) and I will tell you the following:

1. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
2. One of his/her best traits.
3. One of his/her worst traits.
4. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
5. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
6. My plans for the character in the near future. (In the case of previous characters, this question reads as "what I planned to do with them.")

1. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.

Well, I've always been crazy for James Thurber, as he is HILARIOUS, but I really started giving him some serious thought when I was feeling very sick and tired of playing nothing but creepy macabre chars. I felt like playing someone silly and funny and adorable. And thus, a Jimmy was born.

2. One of his/her best traits.

His sense of humor! Jimmy's all about making people laugh, even at his own expense. It's sort of his personal mission to brighten the lives of those around him, even though it may not always work.

3. One of his/her worst traits.

He's hardly ever serious. Jimmy runs about a mile a minute, always too busy coming up with the perfect joke to really settle down and be serious for a second -- about anything. His humor is really a coping mechanism, and so without it, he feels very vulnerable and insecure.

4. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.

Jimmy's actually pretty easy. He's a ton of fun to write. They say every character is simply an extension of the author, and if that's true, Jimmy definitely has my sense of humor and my absolute whorish love for pop culture, which make him a very natural delight to write.

5. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.

THUG LIFE, YO

6. My plans for the character in the near future. (In the case of previous characters, this question reads as "what I planned to do with them.")

Well I want Jimmy to get a job at a grocery store where he can be hit on by old women. Mostly Jimmy doesn't have much Plot plot, he's just a very fun, very casual sort of character. For him, I like to go with the flow~
