    The contrasts and similarities between members and their characters

    So, I was thinking before about how sometimes the people behind their characters can either be so much alike or so far apart from their creations, and how uncanny it can be.

    There are three or four people I speak to on a regular (sometimes daily) basis on this site. One of them is Ailsa, the lady behind Philomel and Stare. Another is Alex, the brains behind Breaker, Numbers, Jake and Capoerista. Then there's Bob, the man who gave the world Storm Veritas. Lastly, Pav, Shelby (I know she isn't here anymore) and Tony.

    Ailsa and Philomel come across very similar in terms of their wanderlust, somewhat earthly and warm personalities. Both have a bit of fire when they need to use it but both are fun, at times serious but most of the time very easy to get along with.

    In Alex I can absolutely see Joshua Cronen. His MMA and fitness background probably helps the imagery, but his well spoken and intelligent outlook matches squarely to Josh.

    Bob and Storm are more or less one and the same, i'm sure of it. There's something about him that makes me immediately sure that I could go on a night out with the guy and very easily get crooked with no danger of ever being bored in conversation.

    Pav is pav but he has such an array of alts that its hard to pick one I think he "is". I suppose Elthas would come closest (probably previous versions) in that the morals and personality are closely aligned.

    Who do you know on the site that has an excellent contrast or similarity with their character?

    I am exactly the same in real life as I am as Elite Optic. Honest.
    Elite Optic - Evil is just a term derived by the cowards who are simply to afraid to try something new...

    I'm never really that far away.

    Honestly, I don't think Elite Optic is a good character for this type of thread.

    I'd find it hard to compare/contrast myself with any of my characters, although I would have to admit that my original character "Raslin" was supposed to be me, or at least a better version of myself. He still is in my modern stories, but they are written better now so it would show more. I've had people read my stuff and say to me that it sounds like me.

    Since I (try to)write such different characters, I'm not sure what else to compare, apart from its fair to say, besides Elite, they are usually emotional, I can't shake that part.

    Aditionally, since i've not written with anyone in some time it's hard to compare people to their characters.

    I share a lot of similarities with some of my characters.

    For instance, I too, am a sentient tank.

    Still the best character I have ever approved.

    I don't think I bare a super close resemblance to any of my characters.

    Maybe Ayaka and her being blunt as I can be blunt at times. But idek XD

    Thanks for that Shin I do feel like I have put part of myself inside Phi.

    Also I feel Stare has a lot of myself in her. Or rather, the sort of person I would be in her situation. Or, rather, it is what I would like to be.

    As for yourself, Chris, I think I do find some of you in Shinsou. You're both tenacious, both speak your mind (to a beneficial degree) and are both generally pleasant. Of course Shin doesn't run around after a toddling two year old but then I guess he's not as lucky yet with Phi.

    I have many characters that are extremely different. Not sure any of them is exactly me, though all have at least ONE thing in common with me

    Yvvie and Yvonne are both very charming? ^_^ and I think Mari-friend is very nice, like poor original Amari was before she got really brokenish.

    I am not sure what conclusions should be drawn about Fenn and I. He is intentionally as if my id came alive in the form of a sunny winter child.
