So I've been wanting to make some sort of twist on Jack The Ripper for the TGS universe for awhile now, but I'm all out of creative juice atm-probably because I've been doing a shit ton of writing and art-and need a little help. I'd appreciate some input, tips and that kind of shite. I've already got a few appearance things down, but w/ personality and basically everything else I'm absolutely lost. The one thing I can tell you is that he currently has dark, gray/brown hair, pale skin(this has a high chance of changing), and light, frost colored eyes. None of that is set in stone, it's just what first came to mind. 
Usually I can just fling a completely developed, complex character from my head, but for some reason this little shit is giving me trouble.
PS: forgot to mention that I'm thinking his real name is Taylor Jackson Hill, but it doesn't feel completely fitting to me. Pls help I'm in pain.

Hey there! I find the best way to start developing a character is to decide on their origins—Where do they come from? What’s their family like? What financial class are they? Did they have an easy childhood, or perhaps something a bit more tragic?
The more you have as a baseline for the character, the faster and easier it’ll be for the little details to come and bring them to life, though sometimes it still takes a bit of practice with them until they’re completely polished.

That's a very good idea that's totally never occurred to me before?? What the heck. I've always just started with design, but that sounds like a much better path to take.

Well, I hope it helps! Everyone tends to do things in different ways, it just depends on what works for them. ^-^
