A helpful tip for people building a new character from from scratch: I always work backwards from the order this guide is presented in. I write the backstory first. Once I know everything that the character has been through, it's a lot easier to get in their head and write out their personality. I find it a lot easier to shape who a character is to the defining moments in their life rather than create a personality and then try to justify it by building their life story around that. Doing backstory that way allways seems to come out hollow for me. Then, once I know who they are, it's a pretty simple thing to figure out how they would dress and picture them in my head.

This is just how my mind works, though, so I don't kow how much of a benefit this will be to everyone else. But, if you're stuck, give it a try.
