How do you view your character?

[Vilhem]

Character is totally fictional and is in no way representative of me. As a long time creator of stories and roleplays, this is what I enjoy most (though I don't actually do any active roleplaying ingame)

My character is a womanizing, sassy manslut that will chase miqo'te tail. He has his own backstory, and when I view cutscenes, I view him as his own person experiencing the events.

I can vouch for this.

My char is an ex-dominatrix turned stone cold mercenary, which is by no means representative of my rl self, and is just a vessel for my in-game deviance.

I can relate too!

My character, a power hungry wizard who is treading the line between anti-hero and villain. Hates authority (very free-spirited), arrogant yet underneath the rock-hardness still exists an element of kindness. Also honorable, will not prey on the weak, but will often challenge those stronger. Bull-headed, has a huge ego, and dangerous when angry. lol

I've been working on my character's profile for a while, can you tell?

You sure there is no relation to the rl you? :P



B/C for me, when i am in-game m character is half exactly like me and half exactly opposite of me. He pretty much takes my good qualities and those of his own. However I do not lose track of reality, only time. :P

This sums up my position quite nicely.

It's a little more than A as there's still an attachment of some kind but it's not a reflection of myself. If anything it's only a reflection of my creative ability (which isn't much considering the lack of options). I tend to hold a backstory for my character and I'm always editing it in the back of my mind. I've thought about putting it down on paper or perhaps roleplaying it but I just don't have the time for it, or I just won't make the time, not sure which.

One of XIV's primary functions is as a communication tool. In the chat log it reads

Rhomagus Asclepiot: "A reaction to someone or something that actually is my personal opinion in real life."

So while my name isn't Rhomagus Asclepiot and I don't roleplay as him or have him roleplay as me, there is a bit of a disconnect depending on the context of the conversation or situation.

I think it's safe to say I'm free to weave in and out of all of those options including D depending on context. The above example would be as close to C as I could see myself getting.
