Player-avatar similarities

[Chirari]

Just because someone wants their character to actually be themselves, doesn't mean they're just uncreative or boring. Sometimes it's just fun to actually pretend or play a character who is yourself roaming around in these fantasy lands, actually beating up evildoers and saving lives, like you're the one doing this, not some other person. Of course they can't seriously, make these characters look just like they do irl. But, those people can have their chars bare some resemblance to them.

For example, I actually made my character's height the same as I am irl, I also tried my best to make it so that the face bears some likeness to my own. Of course the hairstyle, hair/eye color is just something I'd like to see myself having, if I were in a fantasy world such as FFXIV or any other game.

Also, OP, what I say is just do whatever makes you happy and have fun in the game! Whether you want your character to be the same gender as yourself irl or in your own words, to be a "cute little badass female Lala knight." ..I know some people who like their characters being like themselves irl. But, I also have friends who like to play other genders and or chars that look completely different than they do, I don't judge them for it. It's just personal preference x: you don't need to feel weird about it or anything, if it feels right to you, then it's all good (sorry for the long post)
