You might begin by making up the answers to the following questions about this person:

Age

Birthplace

Marital Status

Children, if any, and their ages

General Appearance

Living Arrangements (with whom, where, in what type of place)

Occupation

Degree of skill at occupation (beginner, expert, experienced but a bumbler, etc)

Character's feelings about his occupation

Family Background (ethnicity, siblings' and parents' names, social status, political affiliation, mental status, educational background, religion, habits, pet peeves, etc.)
