Player-avatar similarities

[BunnyChain]

She's based on me: body (hight and bust), face (Miqos have the most round faces 2nd only to Lalas), hair / skin / eye colour (including shape), ofc as close as possible.
Was tweaking the hair colour around for hours before finding something that looks most similar.
The cat features are nice too because I ♥ cats.

The way I see it, my character is an extension of myself into the game, if I can make her look similar, I'll feel more involved.
At first I also did experiment, to the point of going Lala but even then I tried to make her similar to myself. Sometimes I miss my Lala days. :c

[Andevom]

Andevom and I have the same eye color, but that's about it.

I also probably dance about as poorly as he does.

[Greven]

My character is an extension of myself as well. I took a LOT of time tweaking it. From the best skin color, height to the voice and expression of the eyes/eyebrows, even the roundish nose. Was so happy when they added the freckles too XD. I cut/change his hair when I change mine IRL as well. LOL

I don't do this in every game but I feel very happy about thinking to my character as something like the recipient of my self in this virtual world and this is one of the reason I think I really "connected" to him and get a deep kind of immersion, especially during the main scenario.

The features that aren't possible in the real world, like being a catboy, the jobs and roles I use and prefers are by the way expression of myself as well like I love cats and I'm a very feline person.. so yeah, I feel completely one thing with my character, in and out, and I love it.

[Iagainsti]

While Im not quite as toned as my Avatar, I am 6'1' and work out all week, facial features are as close as I could get them, I do wish I could rock the Blood red Warrior's Quirk, but my hair is pretty tame in RL XD

[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.

[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.
