1. Character Profiles are always a good idea. You can find them online, print them out fill them out. These will help you keep basic character info together.
2. 100 Things. Make a list of 100 things about you character (ie. Alice hates pie. Alice is good at math.) Will you mention in your book that Alice hates pie or that Bobby never says indeed? Probably not but this can help you get inside your characters head.
3. Character Interviews. These are fun. Ask yourself a series of questions which you will answer as you character. Warning: this WILL make you feel a bit like a schizophrenic person but it is also a fun way to get to know your characters.
4. Character Sketches. This is for people who have trouble visualizing thier characters. I supply this service both for myself and those on Inkpop and for those who can supply a basic character appearance. Also you can go on sims or make an avatar online to get a basic idea of how they look.
