Hell, you don't even know the character's personality until you've played a few game sessions.

Truer words have never been spoken, if you try to force a personality on them before they are played, it feels forced. Give it a session or 3 (maybe more in a roleplay light game) to develop a personality. Complex PC's are rarely ever appreciated when they show up complex. If you grow complex during the game most of the others will probably grow with you.
42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
If you can't fix it with duck tape you haven't used enough.

I think that is the ONLY way to grow a character.
You have to see them to experience them.
