That's good to hear! I sometimes wear my characters like clothes; when I'm posting as them, I tend to take on their persona to get a feel for the character. Sometimes when I go to the gym or walk into town, I like to pretend to be different characters and act like they would. It's quite fun!
I think I prefer creating RPs to characters, I always have RP and Novel ideas which I come up with and expand upon, but hardly get around to writing them. I'm trying to work on my characters atm, sometimes they just feel too two dimensional or generic. XD
