Important things to Remember While Creating Characters

How they grew up shaped who they are now.

If your character lives a rough lifestyle, they should look like they live a rough lifestyle.

Knowing their mindset will make them more dimensional.

How they dress should depend on who they are and what they like.

Whether they like their job or not could say a lot about them (if they enjoy being a cashier, they probably like people. If they like fishing, they probably enjoy relaxing on a boat or by shore)

And when working on the pacing of the story, especially around those protagonist-planning stages, keep in mind the Unspoken Plan Guarantee (plus check out the Playing With Trope pages!)

Twin facts #2

No one actually knows who their birth parents are, not even Papa Digi. They have vague memories of them, but it’s nothing pleasant and they refuse to talk about it. When asked about their parents the answer is always different.

He actually prefers knives over guns. Harder to clean but more simple to use. He has a jacket full of pockets just for his pen knives.

Arturo Things #2

He’s easily angered and hard to calm down but Italian Opera always does the trick. He could be in the middle of shanking some poor fucker but if Cecilia Bartoli comes on he’s instantly mellow. No one knows why.

Basilio Facts #6

He loves cooking for other people but he’s absolutely stubborn about he makes for them. If he asks you in advance what you want, that means you’re special to him. If not? Good luck if you have allergies.

Basilio Facts #5

Favorite book is The Kite Runner . He’s revolted by Assef as a person but as a writer enjoys his character. He’s conflicted to say the least.

Basilio Facts #4

Always been assumed to prefer books and studying over girls but in truth? He’s never been sure he’s ever been attracted to them. Scared and uncomfortable to think about it though so he claims he’s just not interested.

Basilio Facts #3

He relies avocados and multigrain bread with cheese to maintain his weight in addition to his usual healthy diet. There’s nothing else he enjoys that’s as caloric that doesn’t fall into the junk food category. He spends at least $400 on avocados alone every month.

Basilio Facts #2

He forces himself to act more mature in order to compensate for him being the younger twin. Arturo can see right through his act but Basi couldn’t care less. He doesn’t want to be seen as his inferior copy.

Basilio Facts #1

He’s easily flustered by flirting, honest to god turns as red as a damn cherry. He’s dense as hell and doesn’t always pick up on it but when he does? Yikes in the yard. Don’t even entertain the prospect of him flirting back; the second coming of Christ is more likely.
