Player-avatar similarities

[Meow9000]

So I wanted to get a general census from the community here.

How many of you have characters that bear resemblance to you Irl?

Meaning Same gender, same skin color, maybe even same hair color, etc

I have only known of two people that had characters like this.
For those that do, do you actually enjoy it?
As a male player, I have played female characters my entire 2 years playing the game, with the majority being a female lalafell (only changed to au ra recently, but am going back to being a lala soon)

I loved being a female lala, I loved being the cute little badass knight but as weird as it sounds, lately as I have been getting to know more people from the game outside of the game, whether it be social media or skype, I have been feeling weird about being a female lalafell (which sparked my first change to au ra). I hate being Au Ra and am changing back today but for some reason I feel like it would be less weird if I became a male lala with darker skin and hair like myself. Im pretty torn honestly. It also doesnt help that I have a lot of female only glamour items.
