Your Character; a projection, a fantasy or something random?

[Selli]

I based my character a bit off what I wish I looked like as well as some personal little quirks here and there.

I'm 5'8" irl so I'm pretty tall for a woman, if I were to put on heels I would be taller than my 6'0" boyfriend. I've always desired to be shorter, so I tend to have shorter characters. I also went with smallest bust size because itty bitty titty committee 4lyfe. I have a bit of a babyface irl, but Selli's is definitely a lot more prominent than mine is. Chubby cheeks are so cute~

I gave Selli grey eyes because 1) I have green eyes irl and I despise them with a passion 2) I had a grey cat for 18 years before she had a very traumatic death, so I like to keep a part of her close to me 3) grey is one of my favorite colors... probably because of said cat 4) something about darker eye colors is hypnotic to me, they're just so inviting.

I actually love my hair color irl, it's a deep and dark red. But I can never find a game that does that color justice. It's either too bright red (I don't want to look like a firetruck) or it's too brown. None of them really have the blacker tint to it that my hair color has. I'm a natural blonde so I meet myself halfway with blonde + light red = strawberry blonde.

The band-aid on the cheek is an inside joke. I've worked in restaurants my teenage years and I never went a shift without hurting myself in some way because I am horribly clumsy. They had a special box of band-aids and Polysporin just for me. XD

[EDIT] I also was very torn between going Midlander and Miqo'te. I ended up going Miqo'te because I will probably be a crazy cat lady when I have my midlife crisis as I cannot resist them ears and fluffy tail.

Most of my characters are just designed around what I think looks nice/suits their personality. My Hyur is kinda based on me...I do wish I had his body...I could easily achieve his hair irl.

I draw comics so whenever I make a character anywhere I'm always thinking about it as it's own person. I never make myself as I'm boring. I went with Miqo'te cause Tail. Seriously they were the race that stood out to me the most. I'm still and always changing things with Remy as one day red hair looks good then a month later blonde is god. For me, it's all about what I want to look at for hours, and when you give me a choice it'll ALWAYS be a cute girl. Cause you gave me choice . I just can't make a final choice on colors since my taste changes on a daily bases.

A projection..... Kind of.

My characters will always have blue eyes and I will always opt for playing a caster with diseases/plagues.
I usually go for blonde hair as well. Also when I make characters in different games, I try to make them look alike for some reason.

[16bitBounty]

I obsessively try to make a character that is attractive looking to me. I will restart hundreds of times if need be to get something right.

[Antonio_Xul]

I could never really make a character that looks like me as my hair is the most distinctive thing about me and never really see it in any game.

Ever since the game WWF Warzone on N64 came out, I've been hooked on games that had create-a-character on it. Since then, I've rarely played another non-create-a-character game since. I've enjoyed the WWE games, Rock Band, ModNation Racers, DCUO, Soul Calibur, Fight Night, South Park, etc.

In all the games I've created characters in, there is only 1 feature that I've always had if available and that's the eyepatch. It's in honor of my favorite video game character, Sagat from Street Fighter. It's become my signature feature in my creations. As far as the rest of me, it's just whatever I like.

[Nyu_Maimhov]

Well I can start by saying my character is not totally random. My char is more like a projection of what I'd like to look like, so part reality, part fantasy.

[MXMoondoggie]

When it comes to RPG games I like making up a character I've never used my own name or tried to make them look like a fantasy version of myself in anything be it an MMO or something like Mass Effect. I'm boring I don't want to play as me XD. I'll usually play around with character creators and start figuring out what I want a character to look like and what gender etc then think about what sort of character they would be and add details from that. I think creating a new character is a fun thing just giving them a back story and historical events in some cases when it comes to dialogue choices that can shape the kind of choices they make in game. I try not to let what I want to happen manipulate the choices I choose.

[Frost_Tear]

My female character is always based on my OC the race doesn't specifically matter she will always be ice themed have pale white skin one white eye and one light blue eye, white long hair with frosty blue tips and full light colored lips.

As for my male he is just an ice themed character that appeals to me and has no relation to my appearance whatsoever. I like making all my characters ice based except for the few exceptions here and there.

[TinyMonster]

I was always attracted to horns and more "demon" looking characters and I fell in love with my Auri. Im also a 5'9 woman and its always something I hated so my character is short. I gave my auri green eyes because my eyes can be turn that color. I also always wanted to be blonde so I gave my auri blonde hair.

For thr longest time though, my character was a Lalafell called "Soushie Monster" yes thats spelling as a personal meaning for me but didn't quite fit my auri so changed name, and I am still not super happy with it.
