The "planned" creative process, for me, is entirely the world. If people get made during that stage, they're not characters--they're window dressing, NPCs.

The characters develop as necessary to the story as the story unfolds. The characters are what the story needs them to be. If you want to tell a certain story, you need to create a character to find that story, and as one evolves, the other will. If you create characters independantly of the story, then you'll find them trying to do inappropriate things and wrecking your story in the process.
