Apologies for the mess here folks, this old man tends to ramble on about things carelessly, especially when brainstorming a character on the backburner.

Tell me, what's the most difficult part of character creation for you guys? Mine is coming up with a name.

Writing out the personality is the hardest for me with history in a close second. I know how I want my characters to act in my head, but no matter how I put it down on paper, it never feels right and I worry that I'll fuck it up and people will misinterpret >.>

History is second since I have trouble coming up with an idea but once I have one its not too hard ^^

As for names, use name generators or like the one Ophidian provided, baby name lists or google translate and find words with meaning behind them; Akio's last name actually translates to "Silver Heart" so it kinda fits in a way. Sometimes I just make shit up if it sounds close enough tho xD
