Oh, my gosh. I've even having trouble finding a faceclaim for my accidental time-traveler, Penny.
She's got short, dark hair that she can tuck behind her ears, glasses, and is pretty without being stunning. She's often serious, and although she is petite, she's cracked heads on occasion. She's...
I feel character sheets for groups are probably incredibly helpful to the GM, but for 1x1s? Nah. I don't want to do it. My characters aren't always fully-formed at the start and tell me things along the way. Stuff might change, and as long as my partner knows the big details, my OC's favorite...

State the character's accent, pick one or two words/phrases/ect to be consistent with (I.e. "Gonna" or "don't fash" ...
I generally have a vague backstory which becomes clearer the more I RP said character. As in, the character tells me what has happened to them the further into RP I get. I almost ever know a character's full story upon first creating them.
True medieval-- not fantasy. Roman. Gallo-Roman. Age of sail that's not instantly OMG PIRATEY JACK SPARROW. Also, the World Wars, yes, especially homefront. And so many more. Good lord.
