What are your motivations and reasons for creating the online characters and personas you do?

For PSO, I created a female FOnewearl because I'd rather stare at a female's ass than a male's ass for hundreds of hours.

Thats the kind of thing that needs to be said more in the media.

Anyways, I dont much play the MMORPG's, and I never really have.

I used to play Diablo, a long long time ago from my friends house when I had the chance, and whenever I would play, I'd be a backstabbing mother****er. I'd tell people to trade me things by dropping them on the ground, then I would take them, kill them, and run.

Or simply mudering people was good enough for me. I was stocked up on ears.

I model any game charatcer I am after myself.

Loosely, anyways.

My "main" characters in an MMO (City of Heroes/City of Villains) is always male. Alt characters (extras) are usually female with some male. Just gotta have a variety

my characters in NBA games are always as tall as me, and fat.

I make my MMORPG characters with their own personas. It's kinda weird but i pretend i am them with a different personality and sorta project a persona of the character i've created. Wow, i might need a psychologist.
I guess it can be likened to Multi Personality Disorder, but in the gaming world lol.

i usually try to make my chars look cool and stuff, not really model them after anything or anybody...just like them looking all shiny and cool.
