Ah, that's for sure.

You see, I do have some characters that I brazenly put "aspects" of my personality in. Like some subtle Fateification to have some "perspective" of how I could work on these traits or how some people that shared them would react to the uncommon situations in my verses. :P Silly characters, fear the presence of the unseen "Tier 0" that never was [but in this case 0 means really inconsequential to everything]!)

Though sometimes I try centering them around some kind of thought or ideal - a "what-if?" kind of person, if you may. I have fun creating the "soul" of the character from this starting point. With something special that belongs only to them and is to be shared with the world and the other characters.

What makes them be themselves, and them making and seeing how their identities overlap. In that sense, maybe it's not all that different from how you kept shaping Starcross as you kept going and making the worldbuilding, dealing with the execution and all that.

As for me, needless to say with all my username and my "Fatalk", the notions of Fate and Destiny are a constant in all of my works. Fighting it, accepting it, walking besides it or finding another path of your own. Those kinds of things.
