Optional Discussion Topic: Characters

The backbone of an interesting story is the characters. How do you create and develop characters? Do they appear, fully formed, in your head? Do you base them off real people? Do you sit down and brainstorm a list of characteristics and a detailed biography, or go with the flow? What works and doesn’t work for you?
