this is a goofy suggestion but its what I do and it works usually,
pretend your the character, play out some actions you expect it to do, role play a little in your head, copy the poses you take,
I'm a peculiar person in that when I imagine up a character I'm usually playing with a pen, pretending the end of the pen is their fist and a bit of the pen is their arm, I flipty loop and play around with the pen like a child, pretending the character is on whatever adventure, even talking to myself in funny voices to pretend their interacting with different characters.
Now this could just be the autism talking, but playing pretend like this gets ideas flowing, the personalities filled in and the characters building for me (and hence their attitude fleshed out, which will effect their pose.)
