Ooo, this is all very good advice. It's given me a lot to think about for sure. I apprecikate the help ^^
Now, this brings up something I actually struggle with quite a bit when it comes to my own roleplaying and my writing in general. In my experience I have always struggled with playing a character. I may be able to adequately make or occasionally excel at making a good character. I can assign flaws and traits to them that (usually) play well with one another and help to (hopefully) make an interesting character.
I can't play the character is my issue. I struggle seeing through their eyes and working through their problems as they would. Or thinking about things they might enjoy. This I believe has to do with how I reason. Though I can honestly say I am not entirely sure what it is that might be causing it. It may even go as far back as to how I make the characters.
So, how do you guys manage to "get in the heads" of the characters you make?
