- Add complexity - Elizabeth Moon, Science Fiction author, says "your character has a mix of traits that (as in real people) come from both innate nature and experience -- constants the character has no control over, and variables that involve the character's response."
- Be logical - J.E.S. Hays (the Devon Day and the Sweetwater Kid series) says that your characters should behave in a rational manner, with good (at least to themselves) reasons for each action and response. This goes for dialogue as well: your characters should say what seems logical to them, not sound like some kind of puppet.
