Hey RPers...
Do you try and project your personality into your character?
-
Eh. A bit. Like I’m extremely book-smart but have no common sense, so I guess I do since Crowley usually tries to blow problems up instead of figuring them out.

Edited by FdYAcsoyPKN83gLE: 3/3/2020 3:35:34 PMRoleplay gets in the way of the fun. Seems stupid, just slide it. [spoiler]I feel bad for those who do it to counteract their miserable life especially when they do with it themselves.[/spoiler]

That’s an interesting one, I’ve made many characters but I’d say two of them kind of have a similar personality to my own (Fastman, Arwel).

Putting yourself into the character is bad, you'll be more inclined to be offended when bad things happen to them. You can give them similar experiences or knowledge but that's the farthest you should go.
-
Depends on the character. Most of the time, no. Why roleplay if you’re just going to be yourself?

5 RepliesEdited by f3: 3/2/2020 12:34:15 PMIt seems more like people project the person they want to be, or the person they like to see themselves as. Which, piggybacking on what that other guy said, probably isn’t great for the “god-modding” thing I keep hearing about. And it seems like it’d cause problems in instances where people might take something personally.

Yesn’t

3 RepliesAlright, I beat Master Servo, and actually have some time to answer this properly! No. I try to avoid what I like to call “avatar characters” in my writing, whether that’s alone or as an RP. When you write yourself in as an avatar, more often than not you wind up with this bias on your hands, where the avatar becomes the biggest, srongest, bravest hero there is! Their flaws disappear, and they become perfect! In solo writing, that leaves you with the problem of having this bland, boring protagonist, which ultimately ruins the story. In an RP it’s even worse, because it does all that [i]and[/i] tends to result in god modding. (this is even worse when your character is “who you wish you were”) What we like about characters are their flaws, and their struggles. We like seeing them weak, and fragile, but fighting through their weaknesses, and overcoming their adversary not because they’re Superman, but because they’re not. So, that’s how I build my characters, both in and out of RPs.

I only do a little bit of me. My character mostly acts like me except for maybe a touch more recklessness, but they react much more aggressively while I'm more of a peaceful person

7 RepliesI try to project the personality I wish I had. Because if I stayed accurate to myself I’d end up a Hunter.

I tend to play as myself in games like Dragon Age and Mass Effect that have the so called romance options in a game. Games like Odyssey and FarCry 5 I usually play opposite gender and view myself as more of a tag along which lets me make decisions I normally wouldn't make.

a little, I mean I am typing... I think [spoiler]@_@[/spoiler]

2 RepliesYes. Way too much for my first one. If I make more, I hope to steer away from that though.
