I could try to help you out if you would like. For whatever reason, I very much enjoy creating and fleshing characters.

Personally I always find appearance and personality descriptions to the be toughest I tend to recycle those or parts of them from character to character. History started off as very difficult for me but after coming up with so many different characters, I've gotten better. More often than not, when I'm creating, I'll actually even add in parts of their history just for kicks. The trick is to keep the history generic but specific. Keep it specific enough that we've got some details into the character's background but also generic enough that stuff can be inserted. I've often found looking to other bios and characters within books helps me draw inspiration for histories. But if you ever need help just ask me.
