Characters' Basis

[Lily Stew]

Coming up with characters is fun, but it gets complicated if you can't make their personality consistent. It'll be like building a puzzle that has to make sense because it has a great deal of effect on the story. Would it be easier to create characters based on real humans then?

Building from scratch would be more of my style because it helps with creating the plot twists of the story. Basing characters on existing people might end up making the story predictable, and I wouldn't want that.
