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.
Elite Optic - Evil is just a term derived by the cowards who are simply to afraid to try something new...
