Concerning your main character's personality...

Just curious.

OBS: The first option isn't like "My character is ME in real life", but the character must have some traces of yourself in it. (e.g. the sex, the hair color, the eye color, the size comparison with others of the same race, etc.)

    Option D. Just a game.

    If this game had choices and consequences then I'd probably fall into the B or perhaps C category.

    Since my characters are slight based on the tabletop ones I have, I could say the option 2 for five of my characters and the option 3 for my main. Its a long and complicated story. >_<

    My character is a mix between how I look and how I wish I looked XD

    I went with C. Not only am I not a 253 year old drow-turned-dark elf thief who used to worship Vhaeraun but now worships Corellon, but if NW were real, my RL stats mean I'd be a CW. :P

    I had to pick C.

    I have too many alts with too many divergent and odd personalities, and not one real clear main. So either they have wholly invented personalities....or I have more issues then Sybil. :p

    I've never put any thought into it for an mmo, other than sarcasm when someone talks about their characters doing the right thing, replying about how I just want to get paid to kill things.

    Picked A.

    I made sure it ressembled me in every way possible. I think I've spent like 20-30 mins on char creation when the game first came out lol.

    B.

    I make my main character's personality to largely base on me. But visual couldn't be exactly the same as I'm not an European.

    My character's personality is based on me, but its appearance is fictional.

    'Old Zeb' was one of my first NPCs in my 20+ year long ongoing FR Campaign that I DM. His appearance was created as I saw myself if I lived for thousands of years and was a mage. So, while he is based upon my personality (a forgetful male who loves magic), it is a fictional basis as while I am forgetful, 'Old Zeb' forgets on purpose but never about magic and lore, and his appearance is also fictional -- for the most part. Like me, he is tall and slim and has blue eyes. Unlike me, he has gray-white hair, is old and wrinkly, and has elven-like agility.

    You can read his Neverwinter-adopted lore here.

    All my other characters, save for two, are also based off of NPCs in my campaign.

    I always make my characters thier own beings. They're thier own person, from how they do everything to how they think and talk. Some may have aspects of my own, others may not. But thats to be expected, since I have alot more characters. I do this for every RPG/MMORPG I play, if I cant customize my character from appearance to the way they fight to the abilities and the way they are built, I wont play the game.

    Somewhere around B and C. The looks of my chars are according to my imagination. I am a proud creature when on my Gwf, and an annoying fun loving guy when on my Tr, and more to come. ;)

    Thought I was the only one tbh.

    When the character is not my personification it's all good I take like 5min to create him, but when I have the ability to change small details and I want the character to look like myself I take at least 30min creating it.

    I was really upset when I created my CW because I couldn't make his feet a little smaller, and couldn't change his height w/o reducing his legs.

    I base my character's personality close to how I act in real life, however I change certain aspects of it (like complete devotion to her god of choice) to fit within the cleric role I have chosen. I am a dragonborn in game, so I think its safe to say I don't have scales IRL (I wish I did though! that'd be so cool!).

    What does "an European" look like, out of interest?

    Eldarth has always been fascinated with magical powers of life and death. So, naturally, he became a master of necromancy. During his adventures he came across the Hand of Vecna, and feeling the immense power of the artifact, prompty chopped off his own hand to claim the artifact. Shortly thereafter he began building his keep for himself and the various powerful undead he has attained as minions...and a young adult chromatic dragon. He spends most days raising more and more undead minions to fill the ever expanding keep.

    So, yeah, based entirely on myself....er, no, wait - "C" I meant "C!"

    I simply assume that real Ian is not blond and fairskinned, unlike his Neverwinter character.

    I know what you're driving at is that the concept of European homogeneity is laughable, but leniency because ESL and all that.

    As for how close my Neverwinter character is to myself, we must allow that I contain multitudes.

    Mine came from a character I "rolled" up a very long time ago...

    Based on how I see myself

    Definitely B. My characters all have aspects or an aspect of me in them. Though I do painstakingly go through the character creation screen each time. Guilty! :rolleyes:

    Definitely C for me. My main character in an eight year old girl who received access to a powerful source of arcane energy. ((By comparison I am male, not a child, and I don't have magical abilities of any sort.)) My 30ish alts very quite widely including a wight deathpriest of Orcus who is trying to destroy every living thing on Toril and turn them into undead, but I try to keep them from being much like me.
    Neverwinter players are stubborn things....until you strip them down to bone. (Cursed players, my flowers, MINE!) Oh how I plotted their demise.

    I picked this: My character's personality is based on me, but its appearance is fictional.

    But this doesn't mean my characters are exactly like me: They're more like little pieces of me, where some part of me is their strongest ability.

    It would be nice to customize your armor. In a blacksmith
