Writer's Fallout Shelter

That is a really good question. Usually I start with the story idea and the characters come from what I want to write about. Usually though they are modeled partly from people I know. I also have a very large list of questions about the character to define who they are and what the do etc. If anyone would like it I would be more than happy to send it to you. From there I use the Character sketch to try and bring them out in the story. I'm still working out the character stuff though. I am good at dialogue and storyline but my background details and bringing the info about the characters out still needs work.
