My characters always come first -- well, that and the world they inhabit, as I work mainly in fantasy. Character and world are so intertwined for me, after all, we're all a result of our contexts and background.
World building is so much fun! I'd love to read some of your work.
I definitely do that! I have several characters floating around in my head right now that don't have a story to go into yet.
Ever create character profiles?
No, not really. They're all in kind of different states of completeness, if that makes any sense. Some don't have names or faces yet, that sort of thing. But I tend to just leave them alone until I need them, then they start to become more concrete depending on the story.
