How do you brainstorm characters? Do you start with a plot or do you have a character in mind first?
Warren A. Shepherd
It's mostly the plot that dictates what characters populate it. But there have been occasions when I think, "Wouldn't it be great to have such and such a character in my story." But it can't seem contrived, it has to feel organic. And sometimes the addition of such a character fuels new plot ideas that I may not have previously considered. It's an exciting process, to be sure.
