Nami: >/////////< lets not do this!
Shush!
---
Alright this is a thread to say if you have relations to your character(s). And if so, how. Its just a little fun way to get to know one another and our characters better ^____^
---
Aqua- Oh my gosh! Have you seen how shy she is? I'm normally like that. But I also whip right around once something I care about is threatened as well.
Namine- Shes'... got a lot of the stuff I feel I have. Of course none of it is medically treated b/c it doesn't need to be. And how she treats others around her is like a x100 of what I do when I lose it (except to people whom really piss me off then the only difference is I'm much more cold and heartless than her during a fight -verbal-)
Kiara- My playful side which of course also lingers with my more violent side b/c hello, I'm definitely not rainbows and cupcakes (mmmmmm, cupcakes~)
Darla- The misunderstood parts of me and the parts I keep hidden under a rug. She's a lot like my dirty, little secret. ^^"
Kiara's Master- The inner most possessive and want driven part of me.
Angel- Oh wow, um... Lots and lots like Nami... Um, I'd say his hiding of information, his protective ways, but still being able to flip when it becomes too much to hold inside. Yeah... I think if Nami and Ang had a baby it would be a blond, green eyed, and light skinned version of myself XD
I think that's everyone... Yuppers, that's everyone~

My characters are only 1/4th related to me, as a person. I can't look at any of the characters on OB and say "oh this is a bit of me" and such. Cause they're not. I can say it about SOME original characters of mine, but even then I make them so outlandish there is no part of me in them. Even with Sora Shimomura there is nothing a part of him that is a part of me.
So sadly, I cannot point out a character of mine that is me. Cause it's not really...all of me.
Although for the sake of discussion, I found that my most favorite characters tend to be characters I never create. Sonic Suai and Dean Young are ones to mention [that my brother Mark made], a character my other brother Matt made "Red Yashimaru" is also cool to me.

Shizuo - I have a horrible temper, especially when it comes to my family and friends, I have a really short fuse and I just like throwing things (albeit small things) when I'm angry. I mean, I'm a drummer! Hitting stuff is useful!
Kasuka - He really does represent my more creative side, I feel that with Kasuka I have the opportunity to show how acting can be really stressful and it is just dodo important to sit down in the local pub with your cousin!
Alcatraz - Although I haven't involved him I enough threads to show it yet, Alcatraz is a lot like I was a few years back, a bit of a lone wolf who only accepted help when he direly needed it.
Albeit none of these characters are made around me, they just happen to show some of my qualities.

Much like Mike, I have a hard time pointing to a quality in a character (especially a 'borrowed' one) and saying, "This is me". There are very few characters that I make who have recognizable parts of me in them, although if you look really, really deep, you can find traits of me in every character I've ever played. A few of them that really are like me, I'm even slow to recognize, because of how caught up I am in what's happening to them. (An example of this that Mike will recognize is Hisashi - she was a TWEWY OC who was murdered by her boyfriend, while I was in the middle of an abusive friendship that I couldn't really see for what it was)
Anyway, on here, I'll delve down and try to identify the traits.
Lea is really difficult to identify; I'm trying to keep him as close to Axel/Lea as I can, but bits of Tamaki are creeping in. I think, though, that the appeal of this character lies in what he's hiding, not his outward personality. I've done a lot of that - there are a lot of things people have told me or that I have experienced that no one knows. There ued to be a lot more of those before I got some real friends, I'll admit... it's also his secret feeling of not really fitting in; the fact that he's a Halfer means he's always going to be not quite human, not quite the same as everyone else, and that's a feeling that I can relate to a lot, especially looking back to my time in middle school. Lea's passion for history, though it hasn't come out much in RP, is also my own.
Neku Sakuraba is another toughie, but I think he's more wish fulfillment than anything else. He's how I see a post-TWEWY Neku (with the events of his meeting Lea and rising to the head of the Network representing those arcs in his character development), but more than that, I think this semi-over-protective, snarky, reluctant-leader nature is the person I wish to be, if I were more outgoing - and, secretly, the kind of person I think I might be if I were a boy. I can tell you specifically that Neku's being an artist is entirely me - while graffiti is not my medium of choice, art is a part of my soul, and I have a tendency to make all of my characters artists in some form. With Neku, I made it a logical extension of tendencies shown in-game, where he would stare at CAT's murals for hours, but it never said specifically that -he- was an artist as well.
Izaya Orihara is the character that is the least like me, but the sections of his character that are like me are that much easier to identify. Most of them come from the nastier side of my personality, and they don't see the light of day much, but they do exist. First of all, I can be quite manipulative when I want to be - I like getting other people to give me what I want and to do things for me, even if/when I could or should really do them myself. It's a bad habit I've been trying to break for years. Second, Izaya and I both like to win. THere's that competitive edge there - the glee as a plan comes together, the constant reworking to see if you can get the upper hand. We both love a good battle of wits, as well - in fact, we tend to prefer them over battles of strength. And then... there's that teeny little problem with authority. None of these are things that I gave him - but if you watch DRRR, and you go read this forum, you'll notice that there are some of his traits that I play up, and some that I downplay. My Izaya has never laughed maniacally while stomping someone's cell phone into the ground, for example. Interestingly enough, Izaya on this site is not wholly Izaya - his powers (and thus, some of his intimidation tactics) have been stolen from another, much nicer DRRR character, Celty Sturlussen, who is a lot more like me than Izaya could ever be. However, I think that if I secretly had an evil twin, she'd be exactly like Izaya.
And... that's them. I'm not gonna put Tifa on here because I haven't really played her at all. I'll see all of you guys later!

Hmmm well...
Aya- I can't say that much of her has any part of me. The most I can see is her bitterness towards things that have happened in her past and some of the people in it. Although I'm not THAT bitter. Aside from that though, nothing.
Dante- I didn't incorporate any of my personality into him, at least not that I'm aware of. His relationship with his brother Vergil though, that I can say has elements of the relationship my sister and I have (Except without the extreme rivalry, we're over that). Pretty much the way Neku said it
Me: RambleRambleRambleRambleRamble
Sister: *Confused look*

Riku's rather tough to pin down but I'll try. He's a little like me, or at least this version of him is as I'm a very helpful person and would sacrifice anything to help anyone in need. Also I'm a supporter of Dark doesn't mean evil and using one's the bad traits to help others.
Hope you got something out of that ramble.

Ok, let's see.
Zack- The way I say that I would relate to Zack is that I have a bit of a silliness streak and I love to make people laugh. Other than that, I can't really say that I'm like Zack.
Noctis- Noctis I can certainly relate with more as I tend to be a shy, quiet person and don't speak up often. Not to mention that I'm extremely wary when it comes to people. Needless to say, it's much easier to rp Noctis than it is to rp Zack.
Vergil- The only way that I'm like Vergil is that I'm not exactly the most boisterous person. Other than that, there are elements of the relationship between Dante and Vergil that stem from qualities of my own relationship with my sister except for the rivalry.
Also Aya. You forgot your boisterousness and your fondness for pizza when it comes to Dante's personality.

Yeah but that was part of his personality in the first place and I was trying to keep Dante as close to the original as possible. I just share those traits with him, I didn't add them in.

Oh that's cool though Aya~<3 I mean I heard of Devil May Cry and a friend of mine used to do AMAZING fanart for it... But she never explained anything beyond the worlds: "Alice in wonderland" ... and "pizza". That was it. So I never checked it out ^___^" But its cool if you share original traits ~ <3
*glomps and huggles Aya while purring~ Ears and tail sprouting and wagging happily~*

Heehee, you really oughtta look it up, Nami-chan. The charaters are really interesting, although I like DMC4 the best, DMC1 and DMC3 are amazing as well.
As for DMC2... well.... let's just say that I've never heard a DMC fan acknowledge its existence.
It was also madeinto a rather short anime series as well, although that was really episodic in nature and got panned by critics for being "so full of random mindless blood and violence with a side of unfunny humor that only pre-adolescent boys will stomach it".
I must say, though. I loved it.

....okay, I'm going to add one more character to this list. Seifer Almasy. "What?" you must be thinking. "But Seifer is absolutely nothing like you!" Sorry, people. But Seifer shares one of my most important, yet least-seen traits. Through this character, I share everything I've ever wanted to be able to say to people. Seifer is without inhibitions; he's honorable, he hates people who break their word and manipulate and is basically, in that respect, the anti-Izaya, but he's a total and complete jerkass. Truthfully, he's the Jerk With a Heart of Gold, although... he's a little bit more toward the "Jerk" side than the "Heart of Gold" side. Despite his honor, despite everything else, above everything else, Seifer is an ass. He doesn't speak with respect to anyone,he doesn't put up with bullshit or nonsense, and all in all? He'll tell you, to your face, that you're the biggest asshole he's ever seen, and that's saying something, because he's usually the biggest asshole in the room. And there is a secret, tiny part of me who wishes that I could be just like him. He's the voice with which I express every comment I've ever swallowed or held back about people. He's the guy who has it all figured out, at least in his own head. Doubt his decisions? Feh, why would he do that? He's the boss. He screws up? Oh well, let's do it again. But why should he follow your rules? His should be good enough. Yeah, he's different. Heck, he's not even human. But so the hell what? Most of the human race is asswipe dumb, anyway. Sure, he's probably got his insecurities way down deep inside like everyone else. Secretly, he wants to belong like everyone else. But if the rest of the world won't accept him? Screw them! He'll make his own rules, his own world, and everyone else can go shove it. He's everything I've ever wished I could say to the world. He's everything I've ever wanted to be. Not a gang member or violent or whatever, but confident, independent, and strong. He's my elemental core of stubbornness as it would have been had all the shit that happened in my life to erode it hadn't happened. He's what that elemental core still is at the very innermost essence. That's who and what Seifer is to me. |

So... Seifer is like your strength and wishes? I totally respect that.

In many ways, yeah. Although he's more my bitchy wishes, all those things I"m too polite to say but reaallllyyyy wanna anyway XD Like, I don't think Seifer would have ny problem going up to my aunt and telling her she's a superior bitch who tries to run everyone's life and to just eff off because she really doesn't know me better than I do.
But I can't exactly say that, because whatver room I said it in would become a veritable warzone.
The difference there is that Seifer just simply wouldn't care XDDDDDD

In my case, the character I am most like is the NPC - Oilcan. He is kind of shy with a bit of bluster and he is doing his best to take care of his totally amazing sister. And he doesn't feel worthy. He is over his head, but damn it, he is going to do the best he can anyway. Mercy/Tinker - is a combo of book characters that read like the characters I used to create for my stories when I did any writing. Tough, snarky, able to deal with anything and everything. They are the heroes, exactly the opposite of who I am in real life. I get accused of being a "carpet" by friends and family members. Mercy would never let ANYONE walk on her. So in a way she is the me I wish I could be, but wouldn't be comfortable being. There are a couple of things they both have in common with each other and with me as well: 1) They care, they want to help. And fortunately for them, they have a way to do that. 2) They believe in doing the right thing. Not the easy thing. 3) They both have authority issues - and deep inside so do I. I learned a long time ago the person in charge is not always right, they are just in charge. I resent people who feel they are better than others because they have a higher position. and finally: 5) We are all victims of some form of discrimination. We don't want to be judged by appearance or social position, but by worth. We are all just people. Even if they have totally awesome powers and I just have a crochet hook and a pencil and paper. We all have our feelings. I hate prejudice in any form, whether based on race, sex, skin color, social position or whatever. I don't care if you are green with purple spots, I will treat you with the courtesy any sentient creature deserves and with the respect you earn. The kindest most generous person I ever met had the ugliest physical appearance you can ever imagine. Sorry for the soap box... guess this question hit a little closer to home than I thought at first  |
