In my case I usually begin bi asking myself what do I want to play, for
example: Race, class, and most importantly ROL, for example If i start
wondering about a combat mage, my first question would be what turned him in
to a combat mage, then the kind of runs I want him involved in, like
extracctions, rights fighter, assassinations or anything you can imagine him
doing. Then comes all the non running rolplay, who is he, why is he a
runner, why he has the contacts he has, is he married, or any other small
detail you can think of, the more the beter, it allows you to develop the
character to a maximum, and finally having done all that you just start to
asign numbers to represent all you said of your character in his story. For
example if your character is a magic teacher in the MIT&M you should put
teaching as one of his skills, and belive me no skill is useles, somtimes
juglig has saved my neck.
