The character cannot be bland.
Every one of us have our own likes and dislikes, whether we want to admit it or not. Some of us like painting, some of us like sports. Some of us collect those weird gnome statue you think we don't know about.
These likes and dislikes make us who we are. Without it, how do we react to the different aspects and situations life brings?
To get started, what do you like to do?
Do you like painting? Sports? Gnome collecting?
What do you think your character would like to do? Maybe your character is a representation of yourself or someone you love -or hate.
Maybe they're the person you never let yourself be.
Once you establish their likes and dislikes, the rest starts becoming clearer.
