You and Your Character?

The old Matt was based entirely around me at the time. Desperate for recognition and to be taken seriously.

This new Matt is not based on me as much as the old one. We're both alot more serious now and we both understand when it's our time to shine and when its not.

Aaron is what I want to be in real life. He has a goal and does whatever it takes to accomplish that goal. He has no problem stepping over people to get to the top and is a very good talker.

I wish I was evil.... -sigh-

I am Silvyr honestly. I like being by myself rather than around all of my friends. I own a Siberian Husky named Leah and I spend 80% of my time with her when I'm not on the road for my job. The only thing that is different is that he has two full blood parents who love him with all of their hearts and he studies. I have ADHD and I can't read unless I am completely wrapped up into it.

Other than that he is me. I'v found that true writing and acting comes from finding yourself so I enjoy asking myself 'what if' this were to happen to you and I see it all in my imagination as you do when you write your post and then I embody my feelings. That's why I usually write so much because it's all information that I'm seeing and I feel I should share it to make the writing come to life.

By the way, Leah says hi.

Great posts! ^_^ . Lol, I wanted to know because I am a curious little bastard. All right, I now have better insight on you all! 9/10 my characters will differentiate from myself. I find it entertaining developing entirely different personas to play with.

Tarran, though we share the same attitude, is more or less based on my cousin, although I truly should not say that. Tarran has both aspects of his play-by and my own twists. My cousin just came to mind a lot when I made him. And as I said before, Sabriel is unique entirely. He's the byproduct of a helluva lot of daydreaming and brainstorming.

I think Jack is the person I'd be if I was not influenced by the people around me. However, I try to draw a clear line between myself and my charaters. I think people forget that they are not there characters, that the things happening to their characters are not happening to them. You follow?

My other characters usually have one or two of my strengths and a ton of my flaws. Or they're crazy and random and based off of someone I'd like to be friends with or run into, etc.

This is not my first RP forum (it's the first foreign), so Christian Cage is not my first character.
I always put much of me int the character - mostly personality, skills and abilities. And it becomes like a... almost 80 % Myself. Except the look.

Recently I started creating male characters (I'm a girl) cuz I feel more comfortably playing as a guy. Don't know why. And if I'm sorted in Slytherin - I act as a REAL green one. Even more realistic, if it's possible. In RP posts (situations) I treat other house students just like a slytherin member. But in general I try to be a friend with the other users. There is a big difference between RP gaming and personal relations, u know. :]]
