And characters. They don't need to be people you know, you'll be surprised where they can come from.
Know your characters... Talk to your characters, think about what they would do if they walked down a street, if someone asked them a question, what would they say back, heck, take them to the pub if they're that kind of person!

I know exactly how helpful this idea is, and I fully recommend it. One of the best ways for understanding and expanding your characters is to become them. I'm currebtly playing 2 sepreate characters in "Dungeons & Dragons". If I wasn't doing this, I wouldn't have a clue of their true personality!
-Start with a rough sketch or concept of your character.
-Put them into any RPG environment.
-Spend time working out exactly what your character is like. Create their personality and abilities as you'd expect. Mould them through the game's interface.
-Use your now complete character in a story / plot line / random event.
