  1. The character must want something. Think of their GOAL.
  2. Distinguishing feature. Think the Joker's face in Batman or Shadow's physique in American Gods. It could also be a quirk like a face twitch during conversations.
  3. Personality. Are they virtuous, vicious, or volatile?.
  4. Intelligence. How do they reason through situations?
  5. Expertise. A plumber and astrophysicist will approach certain situations differently.
