Creating Character

I love creating a new character, especially if they are the antagonist or have some juicy secret. Last night as I ate dinner at my favorite bar/restaurant, I watched the bartender. I think I might use him in my new novel.

Mickey Sanders wore the baseball cap low on his forehead. If someone wanted a good look at his eyes it would require getting into his face and looking up into the brim of the visor. But one look at his square jawline and lips set in a straight line would discourage anyone from getting that close to him.

The hat protected him from others, and it protected others from his wrath.

Now why does Mickey Sanders want to shield himself from the outside world? Stay tuned, because right now I haven't a clue!
