I'm going to have to say Jess, although she's not got many of my flaws. Or David, in some ways. This is a hard question actually.
Oh man. Im bored. So Imma respond to this.
I think I put a peice of myself in all my characters, it makes them easier to RP.
But if I had to give an awnser....fudge. Its a tie between Lux and Elyssa. I mean....if the two were combined that be me. I think.
Closest thing anyways.

Interesting...
*goes and reads Elyssa's profile*
Wow her history is really cool. The whole conflict about whether to let her learn magic or not, and the whole conflict about how to feel about the gods.
I know, it's a hard question right? I don't think I've mastered not putting a bunch of myself into a character yet. Because it's hard to imagine a character that doesn't think like us, right? I used to think about that question as a kid, about how would explain color to a blind man. That used to trip me out (in a good way). And the thing that trips me out is...you can't. You can't explain color to a blind man. (Or can you?) It's like another version of saying you don't know what you don't know. So our characters almost have to be created from us ourselves.
Or do they? Can we know what we don't know? Is there some kind of collective unconscious or psychic/spiritual way of us knowing what something is like if we have never experienced it?
Wow this conversation turned philosophical....
This girlie is my oldest character. I also talk about her in this post.

She actually used to be a self insert (meaning she pretty much was just like me in terms of personality). But over the long time that I've had her, she's changed a bit and developed on her own.
I think its absolutely and positively true that no character is not like ourselves. For me at least, my characters represent different aspects of myself. My hopes and dreams, my anger and malice, my longing and restlessness, even my greatest fears. Each of them, once I've placed in the base goals and virtues that drive each one of them, modeled in some way after my own feelings or experiences, then develop on their own after their story is given to them.

That's interesting. Especially since you're the first person who has said that they base their characters on people around them. I'm surprised that I don't, because that would be a natural place to get inspiration from.
Honesty I'm gonna have to go with Riley. Don't worry I'm not a thief! He's just quite like my personality!
Definitely Leah. Loud and sassy is my thing.
This character isn’t in my profile. I played a rogue in Dungeons and Dragons named Ace who was an idealist who stoked a rebellion in a dystopian society. He didn’t like to lead, but would fall into the role anyway by getting a lot of stuff done just by talking to people and being genuine. He was also somewhat naïve and call BS out on people to the point where he clashed with his less ethical party mates.
He abandoned the group with a sense of disillusionment after seeing the rebellion fail due to a selfish power struggle, and worked to become an assassin in another realm with a deep seated resentment towards greedy aristocrats and pretentious clerics. He feels tremendous guilt for those who died during the rebellion, and has taken the harsh lesson to lead a guild of assassins which serves as a political counterbalance to the plutocratic Guldarian Empire.
Like him, I don’t like the responsibility of being a leader, but do so for the likelihood that others will abuse it. I pay attention to politics now due to harsh lessons, don’t mind calling people out, and don’t mind doing whatever it takes to hold them accountable for it. Like him, I want a better world where people can get along, and prefer to be diplomatic, but also understand there’s going to be times where you have to get your hands dirty too.

Riley looks like a real fun character!
I read his profile and Kai has some of those qualities too! (The confidence and cockiness)

Right on! She looks like a fun character.

Wow...thank you for all the detail. Sounds very interesting. I am idealistic and don't like leadership positions either.
*** I feel you on that! ***
Sounds like a cool character and plot y'all created. ....things some of us with we could do in real life, when our government acts stupid...right? I think I would force Congress (U.S.) to have term limits if I could be a vigilante. That would solve a lot. Lol
I gotta say I made mine up combining 2 animes devil man crybaby and blue exoersist

This guy!
Although I wouldn't label myself 'rebellious', I was (still am) the kid obsessed with tattoos, motorbikes, and making stupid decisions that will end up getting myself in trouble; like climbing up the school roof even though there were security cameras. Even though I do these dumb, dangerous things I'm just a softie really. :^)

I actually used to rp myself in the silmarillion verse lol lame I know. But it was fun at the time. I suppose Laurelin is most like me as she's mischievous, optimistic and stubborn. But I'd have to say none of my characters now are like me. Writing as me wouldn't be much of an adventure.
