What does it take to create a character? For the Actor, Director and Playwright?

Taking the lead of several posts found both from the thread What is this thing called acting? and the recent poll, Why do we do it?, let us look into what are the different techniques that we all use when creating a character.

Method Acting, Stanislavsky, Grotowski, organic, Shakespearian, what-ever. Maybe it's a process that you have developed yourself. Have you ever been challenged by a part so much that it left a mark you have never been able to shake? Or are you able to create a character and dispose of them like yesterdays old suit?

Tell us your tales and let us all learn form your experience.

Hang about El! I read and walk through the city everyday! What are you trying to do to me?!?!? - Where's the blue contact paper? Must disguise the book.....
