BlueLeafeon Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 The main website makes it very clear that the Avatar is supposed to be you--the player. So, will you follow the developers' intentions and insert yourself into the game, or are you going to make up a character that isn't you? Personally, I think I will do both. My first file shall be a fantasy world me, and my second file (and perhaps every file afterward) will be fictional. (If I can stick any of my OCs into this game's small avatar choices, I'm going for it!) And for those wondering, it doesn't include a "both" option because it's a yes or no question. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Lightning Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) In my case, while I would normally want to say yes, I'm gonna say no. Its because when I was designing my Avatars, I was designing them like I design characters in one of my stories. They may think or act similar to me, but they aren't actually me. That, and the whole I'm not actually a guy when I'm playing as a guy thing. But it still counts for Female Avatar as well even though I am actually a girl. Just my two cents.

Gone2Ground Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I have, like, ten pages of back D&D characters to put into this sucker. None of them are like me (Except maybe Oren Piera, but he was a tiefling so that won't work) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Yeah, for one playthrough at least. The others are gonna be made-up either from a while back or new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturnal YL Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Not a fan of modelling custom characters after myself. I'm more of a fan of putting myself into a game's story and get in character. (So no, Lyn, I don't remember you when I'm in THIS game.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorMajora Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Sorta. I'll make an MU of me but I won't finish its file/marry. I really feel Robin is his own character in this (whom I ship with Tharja, thank you very much.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Yes or no question, huh? I guess that does away with the problem of multiple playthroughs. :P Yeah, I'm putting my "fantasy self" in the game once (I wants me blue hair). And staying single! Bwahahaha. *cough* ....Maybe I'll do like I usually do and make a male version of myself, too xD oh dear.... Every playthrough besides that/those will be randomly created Avatars. ...Maybe not so random, we'll see. .... OOOOOH I could put my other characters into the game! PLANS. Duuuuuuude my own personal army of MU's consisting of my characters. In a Fire Emblem setting, no less! HELL YES I SHALL DO THIS EVENTUALLY. PLANS.

Dude we need to talk about this dancer fetish of yours I'd try desperately to convince Lyn I don't remember her just so I don't have to put up with 'What?' 'Who?' 'What?' all over again...

SPSEliwoodGabriel Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I will have a file with sorta myself, but that will be just to put myself into the My Unit Compendium- my main intention is to join another file with another, non-me Avatar and pretend I'm Chrom's cousin.

It makes me wonder what you do in your spare time. Besides translating walls of text, of course.

veetasoy Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Not really. I'll be immersed in the game enough to affiliate the Avatar with myself, but I wouldn't consider her as "me", since I don't act like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Yes, my first playthrough on my EU copy will be 'me', most, if not all, of my subsequent playthroughs will be of 'characters' The ones I have planned atm are Trickster, Mag+/Def-, Henry for husband. She's a healer at heart, but with some prowess with a sword to protect herself, but there's not much physically to her, so it's easy to knock her down, if you can hit her. She'd fall in love with Henry over time, first by looking out for him, and then through trying to teach him moral things, much like in the existing supports. She'd probably spend time trying to get him to give up curses, but she'd soon realise that the curses were a part of him, and while she never would be able to stop them, she could help channel them to where they could be useful. She'll spend most of her time from the point of their marriage doubled with him loyally, making sure that even the tiniest scratch is healed right away Falcoknight, Str+/HP-, Chrom for husband. A competitive flirt who has a love/hate relationship with her pegasus. She physically resembles Cordelia, and when she realises Cordelia is trying to catch Chrom's eye, her competitive side kicks in, and she decides to make Chrom her own, finally beating Cordelia at something. She doesn't really see the damage this would cause to Cordelia as a problem, basically figuring Cordelia'll get over it, or try and beat her. Ultimately, while the idea started out as selfish, she does actually fall for Chrom, and her flirting ways would slowly cease Sniper, Spd+/Mag-, Sully for wife. An incessantly cheerful, silly, somewhat stupid guy, who is lax about everything, and not really the type you'd expect to see on the battlefield. But, he was trained with a bow since he was young, and is surprisingly skilled at it, even if he's chatting amicably to the enemies while he sticks em through with arrows. He ends up with Sully through a combination of him teasing her for her boyish looks, and her trying to get his derpy ass in line. From then, he'd always be supporting her from afar, even if she doesn't want him to be, and acting like a gentleman whenever she's near, which would probably earn him some time on the couch XD Demon Fighter, HP+/-Skl, Cordelia for wife. A responsible young man, who feels the weight of being Ylisse's tactician heavily, and spends many a sleepless night assuring everything is ready, and that everyone is safe on the battlefield. Even if his decisions aren't popular, he'll stick to them, and bear the brunt of the army's rage. Over time, I think Cordelia would help him out, with her being the perfectionist she is, and they'd bond providing for the army together. However, he'd be acutely aware of her love for Chrom, and would hold off on his proposal until after Chrom's wedding, while being there to support her after Chrom's wedding breaks her heart.

Integrity Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 his name is Paul mine is not (he's a pretty generic default character i use for my first self insert in everything; brown hair, brown eyes, mild mannered) (after that it's dudes whose only intent is to murder everybody and other caricatures.)

Murdok Dracul Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Wow, that poll is incredibly even! I'm not sure if I'll make my Avatar look like myself; sometimes I like to do that in video games, sometimes I don't. Actually, I probably won't, because I have a beard and 'tache and I don't think that's an option in Awakening. Also, I always give characters their default(/canon) names in RPGs, so I can get the proper, genuine, official story. So no, I won't be putting myself into the game. In this particular game, I think it'd be weird to do that anyway, because if your character got married and had a kid, then...that'd be you...doing it with a fictional character...

Phantom Roxas Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Not really. The closest would be that I plan to make my Avatar a Paladin, but that's just due to favoritism. As I'll be marrying Cordelia, I'll be naming my character Richard, since Dick Grayson has a thing for redheads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
