A few notes on how to approach the next task.
So you have your character - let's say he's called Tarquin Mosse. And you have chosen a problem for him to encounter - let's say his car has driven into a ditch.
First of all, make a few notes about Tarquin. Eg:
How old is he?
What's his backgound? (Sounds quite posh, with a name like that. Or is he? Could he have adopted the name - might he have started off as someone quite different?)
Does he have a secret?
What does he look like? What kind of clothes does he wear?
What are his weaknesses/strengths?
Then - think about the situation.
What kind of car is it - maybe a Porsche?
Does it belong to him?
If not, whose is it? Does the owner know that he's driving it? Why did he take it? What are the ramifications of the crash?
What is poor Tarquin to do?
NB: if creating an actual story seems too big a stretch, maybe just explore the character: give him/her a bit of back-story - just see where it goes.
