Hey,
I've been using a new tool (a new procrastination??) to help develop my characters and thought I'd pass it along:
http://www.simpsonsmovie.com/main.html (click "Create your simpsons avatar")
http://www.sp-studio.de/
www.heromachine.com
As a way of visualizing the characters, I've been using these new online character generators, where you can create avatars with a wide variety of visual options. Some are better or more useful than others, depending on what kind of novel you're writing, but it's been helpful for me to have a more clear picture in my head. At times, it's helped me figure out key aspects of the character's emotional development as well.
Hope it's helpful (but careful, it's a great way to waste time, too!)
