onson Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I've always made my characters sort of an image of myself. I picture myself as a stealthy, in the shadows, stab you in the back from behind or put an arrow through your head from a distance kinda guy as apossed to wielding a giant axe and taking on 10 people at once. I notice a lot people play as female characters, argonians, etc etc. So I wonder if more people create more of a fantasy type character than a real life counterpart. I'm not a big burly barbarian, so playing that character is not as immersive to me as playing a character similar to myself (along with exaggerated skills that I wish I had of course). So do you make your character how you would actually be in that world, or an entirely seperate entity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodinfested Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Nope but I always play as female because if I am going to paly a game for hours on end I don't want to stare at some dude that long. I will make some orc barbarian / pro flower picker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InuyashaFE Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Occasionally my characters are extensions of myself, I like to think of Myrkva as an extension of my logic and reasoning, and general strategizing, while Vigtonn is my will and resourcefulness.

I will make some orc barbarian / pro flower picker I can understand that, lol, I play in 1st person mostly so I'm not really looking at myself that much, I was also referring to skills and attributes during character creation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltreU Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I create four of the same characters, which I've done since the 4th grade, if possible in every game. All are guys, btw.Unoe-Typically a caster, in D&D, he's usually lawful evil or neutral evil.Sudduken-Typically a fighter or paladin, he's usually of any good or neutral alignment, except for chaotic.Sunoeken-Has been a spellsword, ranger, rogue, and monk. He's usually neutral.Altre-Enjoys being a badass and doing whatever the hell he pleases, he ends up being the character that breaks boundaries in games because he's the character that I exploit bugs and glitches with. If I do make a female character, it's usually a destruction caster or rogue named Ellie.None of the guys are based on me at all because I'm simply not as badass as the characters I make.

natelovesyou Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I hope a LOT of people on here are nothing like their characters, otherwise they'd be baby-smashing, murdering psychopaths. My character isn't planned, call me less hardcore but I'll make him up as I go along. But I will mostly have the same values in my character as I do, except I'll rob everyone blind. Haha.

justwannaddl Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I tried to model my first character after myself but it was a real pain to adjust the features just right. I wound up playing a stock High Elf until I started using mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
