Usually I get a plot before I get a character, so I just stick in characters that would make the plot go as I want, and then I expand on the character from there. I find that I really have to like a character, or at least find them interesting, to be able to write them properly, so to do that, I'll play with them in my head, putting them in different situations, finding out their background, until I feel that I like them enough to want to get them down on paper.

It really does feel like I have to get to know a character rather than create them though. I just know it's perfect whenever I find the right name or get their background. If I tried to force something to change once I've 'discovered' it, I just wouldn't be able to write it properly. If a character isn't turning out to be the character I want for my story, I have to put them aside and come up with someone new.
