Groucho Marx said that if you’ve got a great character, you got a great story. So with 7.2 billion real people on Earth, how do we create great fake ones?  Creating people on the page who are as annoying, seductive, entertaining, baffling, offensive, caring, attractive, dimensional, and diverse as our social network/family/workforce is integral to creating a relationship between the reader and the story.
