[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 4619397, member: 35909"] Some are very much like me, others are not at all. All my characters do have some of the same traits that are definitely extension of myself. Almost none of my characters drink at all, even the dwarves. The only time I ever broke this was early in my D&D experience, when I had a character (big, strong barbarian) who drank too much and was basically an alcoholic, which I played as comedic. He'd get piss drunk and then crouch down next to the camp fire and start crying about how he was a failure at everything. While only ~half or less of my characters are outright perverted or extremely interested in sex, I've never played a chaste PC, and never will. Few have been much into promiscuity and one night stands, but also none would ever consider waiting till marriage, again just like me. Even my most goody-two-shoes characters are deeply hesitant if not vigorously opposed to helping out people who got into their current mess through brazen stupidity. Most would probably enjoy reading the "Darwin Awards." I've never played a bully, and many of my high str type characters end up in the role of the "bully fighter," quick to anger when the powerful is terrorizing the weak. I'm not a religious person, and even my clerics who have deities are often accused by other players of not acting particularly pious or devout. It's just hard for me to roleplay. So, there's a fair number of themes and outlooks that unite my characters and are shared by me. Including a bunch more I can't think of at the moment, I bet. [/QUOTE]
