Player-avatar similarities

[Iagainsti]

The ony thing I've got in common with my character is the height, 2m00. Apart from that, I'm a guy, she's a FemRoe, I'm white, she's black, I've got brown hair/brown eyes, she's got golden hair/golden eyes.

So not really

And I play as a muscular busty femroe because I can barely stand being a guy in real life, so might as well.

Do something about it it's 2015, Straight, bi, gay, transgender, whats the diff really.

[AlannahCorvaine]

My character and I share the same gender and hair color/length, but other than that she was never intended to be a self-insert or similar to me.

[Pomelo]

My first character was very much like me, freckles, red hair, glasses, small but I got bored and made a whole plethora of alts that I switch between

[Dijana]

My mmo characters used to resemble me, (same hair, skin, eye colour) and Dijana as she was in FFXI did kinda resemble me...character creation was limited in that game I guess. But she's gone through so many changes since then she's...kinda my opposite. Dark/tan skin instead of white, blonde instead of black, red eyes instead of green...yeah

[Averax]

Yeah, no, i'd hate to be staring at the back of my own head all day. If anything, my characters sometimes resemble what i would like to look like.

Realistically, i'd be closer to highlander male build with blue eyes and short brown hair, and way less muscle.

[MoonlitSilhouette]

Now why would I do that?

[Izularia]

Well, same gender, same hair color, same eye color and same skin tone, that's it. Wasn't even intended, I just thought it looked cool when I created her...

[Delta041]

I've never though of characters in games as avatars of myself. I generally think of them as dolls for me to play dress up with. Or as actors with me being their director.

When I was a mi'quote (au ru now) I looked alot like myself ^_^ short cute redheaded female woot..but changed to au ru because well.....its elegant...

[Azazua_azura]

I took inspiration from Sword art online ans log horizon to come up with a character design i had many character looks ranging from fierce to goth loli, when i was forced to drop my old psn ID and rebought ff14/hw I made this lalafell. It pretty much a mix of what i look like irl, to a look i sported when i was 22. I picked lalafell because they are cute and I'm used to playing small characters (Link from Zelda games, and they look younger. Irl I'm 5ft tall 30 years old and people ask if I'm 17, and what high school i go to.
