Listen, lady, why don't you just ask us to write it for you?

AMEN, Anneza
When I took three semesters of Fiction Workshop, we had to have EVERYTHING about our characters thought out BEFORE we even started writing the actual stories. This particular person would've flunked (if not sent back to Elements of Creative Writing.)
Yolanda, before you start on the story, THINK about EVERY PART of the story individually. Why not 1) sign up for a creative writing course at a local college or school and 2) READ, READ, READ (the second from a sign posted in the English Department, but I don't recall which office door or where it came from.)

Thanks for your input, but I do think about my characters before I even write the story. These are the names of the characters that I want to be in the story, but I wanted opinions from other people about their personalities. I already have some ideas, but I wanted other suggestions to have the story be about characters from all different backgrounds. You know what I mean? I don't want you guys to write the story for me, I just wanted ideas. Sorry, for any anger or disturbance I caused. Forgive me.

One thing about names...
Just because someone has a particular name doesn't mean s/he has a particular personality. For instance, two famous men of the same era shared a first name: Adolph. One was a comedian (Adolph Marx, aka Harpo), and the other was Adolph Hitler.
Work with the names you have, then let your target audience determine how they will react to the people. You can always change them during the rewrite stage (which NEVER ENDS.)

Well...
This is an odd question. ^^" But I know an Eric. So... eh... here goes!
Very low in self confidence, slightly suicidal, very dependent, always looking for a healthy relationship, very talented yet doesn't know it, most likely in videogames or something, which I find very useful, tall, skinny, likes anime, kind of an internet geek, doesn't like attracting too much attention, has few close friends, a bit of a history with ex-girlfriends, too, that's sort of a given.
Dane would be a sort of a hotshot basketball player, that's short, but determined, looks cool, or at least makes himself that way, popular among his classmates and outside of school, self-confident, or seemingly, probably talented in way, school's not a huge thing with him though, might say his grades are average, pretty good with the ladies, probably can keep a good relationship going, although it's doubtful how deep this relationship really is.
Hope these suit your tastes. Can't do much more than that, I'm afraid. See you.
