I think both of my main characters make up different aspects of my personality. Alex is more of my quiet and introverted side while Sophie is the part of me that doesn’t take things to seriously and is easily excited by small things. They both have character traits that are different than mine though, Alex is very austere and Sophie is extroverted. So I guess about half of their personalities are derived from me.
@punkarsenic oh yeah that too, jaja...jaaa
@DokiDokiTsuna it's good being independent! I try to be but most of the time I'm sort of clingy lol
@kainatarma OMG I seriously love that type of characters! I have one but I don't know if I'll pull it off well or not I guess I'll try!
Hmmm one of my main characters (the one in my profile pic) is based on my brother, he is pretty naive , loses temper fast when someone make fun of him, and he also follows people orders. Can't say something like "no, I won't do that" .
While the other main character is based on me + my father, the funny part is me, and the polite is my father's. I got the feeling that everyone in my story have serious personality, while he's the only one who plays dumb lmao
Himuri acts before he thinks, talks a lot and is stubborn, and far from being shy. We both try to think positive, are clumsy and hate waking up early, but that's it I think.
Sakari would have more in common with me since he's quiet and enjoys drawing. Though he's too hard on himself when he messes something up.
An finally, Kiyomi. An angry ball of sass. Nothing like me. xD
Mmmm at the core, I have the same problem as my MC, which is that we both tend to get really obsessed with certain things and get extremely discouraged when our work doesn't get enough attention (which is pretty common among artists). But personality wise not really, Frances is pretty brash - she isn't a bad person but is really socially immature and insensitive, which gets in the way of making friends. She's also pretty overconfident when she talks to other people as a result of her * growing insecurities *.
I'm pretty much the exact opposite - I'm an introvert and overly sensitive - I'm shy but don't really have much trouble getting along with others. But I also tend to be kind of arrogant when it comes to comics around my friends and can blab on for hours despite being an amateur storyteller same with my MC and jazz.
Let's see...
My three aliens were partially based on three animals from the Chinese zodiac. Like any zodiac, the traits attributed to them are vague enough to match anybody. These three are just more exaggerated archetypes, so we could say that these three are different aspects of my own persona.
Odin is an introverted, judgemental, self-defeating blockhead. (Yes, the Charlie Brown reference was intentional.)
Isis is an energetic, outgoing, fluffy ball of energy.
Shiva is just bug nuts.
Of the three, I identify most closely with Odin.
Well, they take certain traits from a self insert OC I made like several years ago. So they technically take some of of my traits, but they're so deluded to the point that the traits they're more like parodies or exaggerations but still well-written (I think.) MC1 is an introverted, illiterate, tactical fighter and while being very intelligent, despite being uneducated is kind of a social dumbass. MC2 on the otherhand is loud, violent, vindictive, petty, thug with a very straightforward approach to everything.
I hope I'm really, really different from all of them. Leander is an arse, and Kit has self-esteem issues to the point where he gets a bit annoying. I'm probably closest to Bram, in the sense that I do enjoy bookish nerdy stuff. But I don't put much of myself in my characters at all. They might share the odd world view, but they all have their own unique personalities that are either aspirational to me, or something I see as a fault that needs fixing in them.
@dawgofdawgness oh yeah we noticed
@DiegoPalacios who would've thought!
@monotone_ink no you're cuter!
@Sanz For me it's the opposite, I'm 21 she's 37
Victoria Jackson.
Not gonna lie -- I do give some of myself into her character. Just like me, she puts family first and cares deeply for those close to her. She would do anything to protect them, and never fails to show how grateful she is for having them.
But I feel that's where we become different.
Victoria is very destructive to herself, and a lot of that is regarded to her past and the hatred she feels to those who've wronged her and her family.
While I'm generally good at handling my emotions, she lets hers go loose all over the place. She gets angry just like that and has a short-temper.
Yet at the same time, she tries so hard to keep that in. When I feel, I feel in the moment. I try not to hold myself back. But Victoria will do that. She keeps trying to suppress her feelings, to hold back her tears, and they end up blowing up.
She's an contradiction, I tell ya.
But it's just the result of the environment she was born in, along with the actions made by some very bad people. Victoria is out for revenge, I will not lie, and she's driven by that. But it's at the cost of her mental health...something she puts second to her goal.
