Same here
Twice I've been in the midst of an incredible plot where one of my characters became romantically involved with the other RPer's {two different players + characters of course}. In both situations, I didn't know that the player considered their character to be a personification of themselves, and what I took to be character development they interpreted as personal interest. Both amazing plots were ended due to... ah... "harassment" towards myself. I avoided IC relationships for several years v_v
Dwight Cromwell is my small amount of cynicism exaggerated. He is also my feeling of freedom to do anything he wants.
Holly Madrigal is my persistence and determination to get something done no matter what.
Charlie Shepherd is not related to me at all. I'm not a psychopath, and I'm not going to steal money, I'm not like him at all.
Andrew Mercer/Max Coogan is my loneliness. He doesn't have friends and usually just thinks to himself. Unfortunately this is the character that can be related to me the most.
Despite the fact that there are similarites to me and my characters, I don't usually think I'm quite like them.

This happens far too often for comfort.
Thats why OOC and IC are different...
