Player-avatar similarities

[Reinha]

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.

I'm the same. There are usually some details I can relate to in my characters, for example the broad shoulders, low gentle voice, female gender and strong jaw of my Roe. I pick the rest of the features based on what I find good looking in a fantasy setting. They can be the complete opposite of my real life appearance like the fact that all my toons have cold/ligth colouring despite me rocking yellow/brown shades irl.

Now why would I do that?

[Rikku287]

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.

I generally make characters based on whatever appeals to me more in a game, but I tend to avoid very tall or bulky races. Unless I think they are cool like Charr in GW2, and with that said I only find myself able to play Miqo'te male or female, or as a male Lalafell in this game. But my characters really don't look like me, but sometimes a few are based off characters from my own stories I have wonderering around in my head. If not that, I try to make a character with some thought about in their backround history. But I am a 5'9" white male, mid-build with brown hair/eyes...average looking. ;p

[NessaWyvern]

My character has the same gender, build, skin colour, eye colour (excluding the limbal rings) haircolour (the white highlights are there because I have started going grey irl, I am only 22 T^T) and hair style (if do the plait at the back) as I do. :P I don't have nearly as many scales though irl.
When I was a Miqo'te, I had the same height, but Au Ra are too short :<
I have glasses, but I hardly ever glamour them on.

[Nadirah]

I'm a pink haired catgirl in real life, and I'm pretty boring/uncreative, so I just made a character that looks like me.

Was gonna say, grey skinned, blue haired catgirl here.

As a side note, I *never* play humans. Ever.

My main in EQ2 was Tier'dal(dark elf) and my other main was Arasai(evil fairy), while my main in wow is Draenei(kind of looks like a devil, goat hoof feet, horns on head... Males kinda got Klingon foreheads instead of horns) and I normally play Khajiit in Elder Scrolls(outside ESO, found a game I can make hot guys in, woo!).

I am quite the opposite
I do RP and too lazy to create a mirror of myself in other race, and seemingly most MMO design their outfit base on Human model
FFXIV Is a exception, I choose Miqo'te over Hyre highly becoz the lore behind keeper of the moon

[Niqote]

Same Gender, exact same height, Same skin and eyes colour, No one has natural bright yellow hair but it is still similar in colour XD

Unfortunately I am not a cat girl, though I love Salmon and Tuna. I also can not run for hours and hours like my Character can XD!!!
