I like going for themes with my characters. Only two are loosely based off me, but thats only because I had the haircut at one point during my life, so I wanted to pay homage to it by making two "me" inspired brother characters. The rest are themed though, I think about the character's personality first and for most (basically what armor hes going to wear, because thats as much decision room as we get in GW). So if hes noble, or humble, or evil or good, or just neutral. I treat making characters almost as if, say developers from bioware came to my door to hand feed me all the info on their next upcoming RPG- but asked me what kind of "iconic" characters I'd like to see it. I'd think of creative/unique people, some leaders some followers etc etc, really just mix it up and take some inspiration from other RPG's. Now my problem with GW is that we can only be a main character in a world in which "you can do what ever you want", that is how most MMO's are advertised. I never really ever wanted to make a character that was well.. "the main character", I mean thats just too locking to the player's freedom. If you're going to let me make a character, don't make me play a prototype role.

If I can, I make my characters look like me, however, that is hard to do as nothing I have seen resembles me that much. The closest face I can get to me is a warrior, which I do not really like playing. For the gender of the avatars. I use to have equal of both *I am a guy btw* but others kept thinking I was a girl and there was constant warriors "humping" my female characters. So I no longer have any female characters.

i have a bunch of toons, probably works out to be half male, half female. i play mostly my male toons these days.... female toons are fun to play for something different, but i used to play only female toons when i started playing gws.

the faces an hair options in gws dont really look like me, but i've never aspired to make a toon that looks like me. like people have said previously, for me gws is a fantasy game and somewhere to escape real life

Hey Roth

You've seen my mes - I tried to get her hair and face as close to mine as possible. I never bothered with my other characters - though I did make sure they all have reddish brown hair.

Ysabeth Noirelune · Apr 04, 2008, 11:51 AM // 11:51

Despite the fact that I'm female like all my characters, there's none who looks like me. I choose females because I can only roleplay a female, and all the toons that were not attractive to my tastes never lived to have even one elite armor. Since females are more graceful and have better looking armor, I never even thought to have a male ^^ .

Each one of my 10 characters have her own way to be : If my mesmer like to have her ennemies at her dainty feet and sometimes gloat about it, my sin is a more impassive sort of killer with a "if it's not strong enough, then it should be killed" attitude.

I'm male but have all female chars.

My main char is my female ele with FOW armour.

I have recently made myself some FOW armour that I now wear at home and at work.

We both also wear glasses.

I'm female and have all-female charas

I don't get why guys hit on girl avatars, when it's such a well-known fact that there's a 40% or less chance that there's actually a girl behind the keyboard.

anyway, since I know quite a few people on guild wars IRL, we have fun "roleplaying" together when playing guild wars, i.e act like our fictional avatars. I don't think I would've liked Guild wars so much if I didn't have the chance to do that.

I lurk from work, skiver that I am. Plus, I generally don't have much to say!

All my characters are female. I find the only one who has ever been 'hit on'...well, asked to do a strip tease, anyways, was my ranger.

Internetz people are odd.

Olim Chill · Apr 04, 2008, 02:16 PM // 14:16

Whenever I create a character I instinctively select physical features similar to mine. Can't help it.

fntmx1 · Apr 04, 2008, 02:39 PM // 14:39

Of 9 PvE characters, I have 3 female characters, which won't look any thing remotely like me, unless I grow a pair of breasts, and my manhood implodes into a, err... womanhood... Something about a guy in a skirt/dress rubs me the wrong way (Derv/Para), and I don't like how the male Mesmers' armors look. So, of the 6 male characters, I tend to make them look like me. Besides my warrior, I think all my guys have a goatee with black hair (except my bald monk). So there are exceptions, but I do try to go for something as close as I can get...

NinjaKai · Apr 04, 2008, 02:43 PM // 14:43

Only character I made look like myself is my mesmer. Apart from that I tend to go with what professions I like playing and whether they are female or male simply comes down to which I think the armor looks best on.

9 female char, caue they look better than male.

Dr Strangelove · Apr 04, 2008, 07:15 PM // 19:15

Almost all of mine are female for the eye candy. It's much less rewarding to dress up a male warrior in a 15k gladiator bra.

ewww @ man bra...

but seriously what would you rather stare at all day a hot chick or a tubby guy?... on that note

I have never made a male character since my mistake of making my first character male....

its pretty well known in gw that all female characters are male.... because kids the eternal truth of the internet is the following

men = men
women = men
children = FBI
