Whatever you do, don't have an overly sad past, and I don't mean that they can't be orphans, or be abused by a parent or partner, b

Character Tips 3 - ClothingCharacter Creation – Clothing
So, your character has a body, a life and a personality. The thing is, they're still naked! Well, this should solve their problem.
