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'd been sort of idly considering playing another boy at the Springs (as I really do prefer them) when one day you lovely lovely mods put up that post asking if anyone would be interested in picking up a Grimm brother. And before I could even blink, there was Jacob all fully formed in my head, just waiting around for a PB and a journal.

2. One of his/her best traits.

His responsibility. If Jacob says he will do something, he will do it not only promptly, but to the very extent of his ability. He takes care of the people he loves, and would do anything for them, even at the cost of his own happiness and livelihood, without thinking twice.

3. One of his/her worst traits.

Jacob has such a freaking martyr complex. It's the darker half of the responsibility thing. Yes, absolutely he'd give up anything and everything if he was asked to by someone he cares for, but Jacob feels like he's been giving and giving and giving his whole life by this point, and so while he does continue, it's starting to become a source of bitterness for him.

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

Well, Jacob USED to be very easy, but lately I suppose I've come to realize just how freaking annoying it can be for him to be so uptight.

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

His first scene with Liam. It was so exactly what I had in mind for them.

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.")

Get him unvampired! Also I suppose I'd like to fix Jacob some how, someday. I'd like to see him more well-adjusted, but I'm not sure how to get him there.
