So, back on the original FM, my partner-in-crime Storm put up a character worksheet for writers who needed help with developing their characters. I decided to take it over here, as I think it's pretty useful. Hope it helps you guys out!

Also, here's a quick link to the mary sue litmus test, another link that I've brought over from the original site.

And now, without further ado...

These is taken from individual authors' websites or interviews featuring the author. Authors included are Rick Riordan (author of Percy Jackson & the Olympians), L.J. Smith (author of the Vampire Diaries), J.K. Rowling (author of Harry Potter),  Stephenie Meyer (author of Twilight), Suzanne Collins (author of the Hunger Games). Scott Westerfield also has a whole slew of them on his BLOG. Hope this helps!
