a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
I liked Ianto when I was reading Torch-fic, especially kohl_rimmed_eye's Ianto/Owen fics, before I'd ever seen the show.
The actual show really made me loathe the character, but hllangel wanted me to write Jack!fic for Channukah, so I did and the result was Clouds In My Coffee
Strangely enough, now that we've survived Series two and I see the threesome ending I want to see, I'm more like to write some less hate-filled fic for him. Strangely enough
b. One of his/her best traits Apparently the coffee is good.
c. One of his/her worst traits Self-indulgent, self-centered whininess.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
Strangely easy. But I know a few things about possessiveness.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I kind of like the moment in No Harm when he asks Jack, if his ego is really that collasal

a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
The moment I heard the "bugger skin-heads" line, I know I needed to write this character, although that only applies to my 2nd time seeing it. In other words, after I was already in love with Hugh as House.
b. One of his/her best traits Humour. No matter how dark things are, he's got a snarky comment to make.
c. One of his/her worst traits. Does he really have any? Well okay, he's completely manipulative and duplicitous, but that's part of what I love about him.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character. With the help of beta_goddess, frighteningly easy. I LOVE writing Jools.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
Jools removed his eveningwear, putting it out to be picked up by the cleaners in the morning The silk boxers he kept on, adding a silk dressing-gown. If the bloody worms were going to devote their lives to spinning the stuff, there was no reason Jools

House/Wilson. I was so fascinated by the on-screen dynamic that I went looking for slash, found LJ and the rest is history.
b. One of his/her best traits Compassion. Even though House tends to call it into question, I believe he really does care about people.
c. One of his/her worst traits Low self-esteem. There is some deep self-hatred in there and he makes some very bad choices because of it.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character. Difficult to the extent that there are so many Wilson!Cliche traps to avoid with weeping Wilson being #1. The fact that he's so complex and conflicted makes him harder to write. You'll notice in my H/W stories, there's a lot more House POV than Wilson.

That might be a bit mean, so I also pick Jools.
