Well, I'll go for Zach, Scotto, and Mike.

A while ago, I met the friends of my cousin Tricia.... Zach, Scotto, and Mike. Like my character, Zach was a bizarre yet artistic spastic idiot who had no common sense. Scotto, somewhat unlike my character, was a nerdy random creepy dork who basically followed Zach around and facepalmed at him. Mike was a tall, skinny Native American martial artist. So I liked their concepts. I didn't know Mike all that well, so I decided to take the basic concept and add depth to him. I added the whole story with his sister and stuff, and more to his personality. Some time along the way, Mike became Asian. At the end of his story with his sister, I added Scotto and this detective guy named Ray (real name Raymond Agdele, also known by the aliases Ray Rutoshi (his usual), Lenn Malice, Holden Magnum, Sen Eiriasu, among many others.) and this other chick known as Lynx (originally made for a Death Note rip-off). That's kind of how the friendship between Scotto and Mike began. During their random adventures, I began changing Scotto. He went from a hater to a highly intellegent antisocial British singing, dancing, obsesser of sweet food, and ally of a young detective. I got kind of attached to his epicness (and random similarities to L) and ended up using him more. Zach was kind of just there the whole time, because I really never needed to come up with stuff for him.
