So far, my characters have been out of my head. For me, creating characters is like acting: You develop them, then try to get into their head to figure out what they will do in a given situation. I've never tried copying my characters on anyone I know (you never know who you might tick off that way!), and I rarely take the trouble to jot down interesting characters or characteristics when I'm out and about.
