The contrasts and similarities between members and their characters

[The Rambler]

Hmm. How am I like my characters? Uh. Uhm. Well I have several so let's seeeee.

Nevin: Nevin is my oldest, first character. Like him, I am an eldritch abomination of blood and tentacles. I do tend to adjust myself a bit to differing situations like jedoes - brotherly, stern, etc. I don't have quite his knack for making things, though I do enjoy cooking. Over time he has softened up - thank Eteri for that - which has made him more like me, a quiet home body who, while preferring solitude isn't against being around other people.

Erik: Ah, Erik. It's a toss up between Erik and Hunter on who I am least similar to. Erik has demons in his past, but has by and large gotten over them. But he is far, far more jovial than I am. I do get loud at times, but I don't think I'd ever be the type to hurl someone in the name of JOLLY COOPERATION. Erik, like me, does prefer loyalty and dedicated monogamy, though he takes the extreme long term view - in the end, he's immortal, so if he isn't entirely happy, we'll, he will just out live them. Also, ask so, I'm a blood eldritch abomination, not a lightning slinging soul vampire.

Hunter: I am not Hunter. Too nerdy, not nearly cold and hard enough. Also, ya know, ancient drow, no so ancient - ya get the picture. I'm as not as mercenary as he is? I've got way more of a white knight streak than Hunter does, though he does have a bit of one. Hunter has also been the most ah, open, of my characters, which is not something I'm inclined to myself.

Henry: Henry is - happiness, simple pleasure. In some ways I might be the most like him. He is simple, doesn't like to concern himself with big problems - he just wants to make other people happy. I'm nowhere near the musician he is, my talents lie towards writing, not music or art. I do share his tendency to try to help others without fully thinking things through first.

Common threads between my characters and me: somewhat reclusive, small circle of friends, monogamous (except Hunter), tries to make something and usually good with their hands.

Edit:
Oh good lord I forgot people.

Mikhail : I am not an angry metal crafting demon from the pits of hell dedicated to making a new life for myself. I do tend towards seriousness like he does, and try to play the advocater rather than the instigator of fights (and that surprises me, because when I made him I figured he would be the unreasonable one in situations, but his unicorn friend proved him wrong). I am looking into picking up blacksmithing as a hobby, so that will be something in the future but not yet. I actually do feel a bit out of place at times like he does - though that comes from moving a lot when I was young, not because I've been dropped in another world, so hey.

Uh. Who else - Ronnel.
Angry young man who thinks with his fists, and the voices in his head. I actually have plans for Ron where he is going to start writing stories, expressing glimpses of the loves from his daemons, so that will be fun. Beats himself up a lot for things that weren't his fault, and is coping with some nasty experiments done to him. Not like me, there. Though he does have some sarcasm...

I could go on at length, delving deeper into each character, but hey, don't want to take up too much space here. And to think, when I started writing with Nevin, I didn't want to make alts and just wanted to focus on him. Now see, even new people know me as an altholic.
