I always found it easier to develop my custom characters than any character from a foctional source. Mostly, I think it's because I like to build personalities however I like, and get the freedon to portray them however I think works for them and for the plot. However, for me it's a bit harder to do with characters that already come from existing media, since it's important to portray them accordingly to their source media. While custom characters give me more room to work with and come up with ideas to develop their pesronalities, characters that have a source media come already developed, and must be kept consistent with their canon personalities, so there's less development to be done there. I think that's why out of my entire cast, a 90% of them are custom characters. I disagree.

Mainly, fictional characters have a written-out personality that you can follow, but you can still change it. That is why I feel like it is easier to deal with them - hence why most of my lot are total crossovers.

However, most of the work that comes into a custom character - yes, although they give you more room to experiment, it's a real hassle to plan them all out and etc.
