An Avatar's Influence on Player Behaviour (Questionnaire)

[Terrini]

I expected more to do with how you present yourself in game - like I act differently on my male characters than I do on my female characters (not always in big ways, but definitely small ones)

Yep, I too thought he/she would ask more questions about the behavior of the player when playing as a certain gender and how playing X or Y gender will influence their behavior when playing with other players. As an example, I noticed that when I play a female avatar or a class/role that is more supportive towards others, I tend to have a different persona, then when I play a male avatar with an aggressive role, like dps. I do not do it on purpose, its just something that happens.

Anyway, I filled your questionaire aswell.

My question to you and this is more about an inner question so it is more for auto-evaluation since it is personal:

are you both heterosexual or other sexual orientation? I believe that could be one aspects that would influence on how you see yourself in game while playing a specific role. Another thing that influence you is how your nuclear family interacted. subconsciously, children catch this behavior, and we might even no notice it but start doing that same interaction. Another aspect is how do you really feel as an anonymous person behaving like that and another is how you would feel if you do those roles but interacting with other real people face to face instead of the screen to screen.
