Do you play as yourself? c:

To some extent sure, but normally when I make a character in an RPG I usually explore into creating characters very different from myself...

This is my Summoner in Blade and Soul (Loli life) http://a.nime.me/0072/3190/screenshot_160521_001.jpg http://a.nime.me/0072/3187/screenshot_160521_004.jpg http://a.nime.me/0072/3193/screenshot_160521_005.jpg And this is my face when I got out of the shower today http://a.nime.me/0072/3196/13244884_1199375850102604_2084205099213643839_n_1.jpg The resemblance is uncanny

I read this title all wrong. But yeah! When I play games with customizable characters and I have full ability to do what I want, I usually make her african american (orange caramel-coloured), the tallest I can (I'm almost 6' in real life), amazonian features (big chest, muscular but small waist [I'm a little chubby irl]), red/blonde/brown hair (because that's mostly the colours I use for my hair in real life), gothy facial features (black eyeshadow, black lipstick.. except I can't wear lipstick in real life cos huge lips) and a nice, soft but strong and certain voice. [self reminder to add my own BnS character here..] So in the most part, I do model my characters after myself. @Sunbae omg I give my characters the SMALLEST EYEBROWS I CAN because mine are so freaking thick...

@Sei Rei, apart from MMORPG's, I have never seen a japanese game that let's you actually change the characters features o:

Nah.. I usually play male characters even when it's customisable. I remember a friend of mine used to say I should date the other ginger in our class or we will die out. It never happened so to compensate she created a sims family with gingers only and the mom and dad looked like me and that other redhead. That was some scary shit.

Depending on the type of game or story in said game, I'll usually at least name the character after one of my OC's that would work best in the situation. Some times it's kinda dependent on how many characters they give me to use in a name.
