I usually start with a basis of what I want my character to be. More often then not, I got inspiration for a character personality before I start writing it. So once I have a very simple base laid out, I create a name and look that goes with the personality. Then I go in and write out 9 traits...
I would say to try to avoid making the character one dimensional. Have a solid past/history that plays into why they're who they are today, give them multiple traits, and really make sure that they've got some character juice.
