Other Do you prefer pre-made characters, or to create your own?

[Koinu]

It depends on my partner. I actually enjoy both, really. It's fun rping as something/someone outside myself. X3

 

[Idea]

Original 1000%

Oh, so for every roleplay you always make at least 10 original characters?

Lol! I've actually done that. It's fun. XD

Yep, making multiple characters can be pretty fun. Depends on who ya're roleplaying with and what roleplay ya're doing of course XD

Yes, definitely. A good group or partner can also make all the dif. XD

Hey, sometimes you never see them more than once, and sometimes they don't have names. I'm notorious for NPCs when I need them.

Create my own

 

[Enmerkar]

I usually make my own. I think it allows more flexibility than reusing an established character and trying to stick with the personality and mindset of a character someone else made.

 

[Morlock]

I prefer to create my own.

 

[Daric J Fender]

Both. But when it comes to existing characters, I need to find a way to alter them so they fit me while still maintaining those characteristics that make them who they are.

 

[Janslow]

I really enjoy using my own character more than any other anyone else could make up. It makes my roleplays better, in my opinion. Taking characters from other things is something I do from time to time, but it's never regular.

 

[Uriel]

As The Creator of Auror I find it an obligation to mention that I enjoy creating a character of my own over using someone else's work. However it is never a shame to use others as inspiration for your own unique ideas.

 

[CarmineSunset]

I always prefer to play my own characters, even in fandom rps. I have a lot of fun figuring out my characters, but I’m also always afraid I’ll end up going completely OOC.

 

[Nobelia]

Pre-made when I like to challenge myself every once in a while--otherwise, my OCs are my true children.

 

[RlyRlyKoolKid]

It depends on what the rp is and what the story might be. For certain ones I would prefer to use pre-made and for others I want to use my own original characters. My mood also comes into play, like if I'm feeling uninspired then I would go for pre-made.

 

[Krefarus]

making your own

 

[BlytheTaylor]

Create my own. I dot like doing premade charries or rps based on shows / fandoms.

 

[Rock And Roll Boy]

Create my own, of course.

 

[Otaku_Girl]

It depends on the kind of rp. If it’s fandom based, I 100% would rather have a canon character over an OC. If it’s an original rp, I’d rather create my own character

 

[Ace91]

I prefer to create my own

 

[Meridel]

Always to create my own, I dislike roleplaying canon characters - other than to add to the story I'm writing within a fandom. There's so much more creativity and fun to be had in creating OCs.

 

[SoothingStarrs]

I do not enjoy canon characters. It's just...the simple fact that you can create your own characters, your own creations and have a wonderful time developing them to your desire. You cannot do that with premade characters. Your OC's literally become like your little babies

 

[Lilliththespider]

I'm never comfortable using someone else' characters. I have to know a character inside out to use them so I stick my own created ones, which I am highly attached to.

 

[StormWolf]

I generally detest pre-made characters. Even in RPs I run on tabletop or forum that have a crucial role or element (like an heiress, duke, etc), I will leave it as generally blank slate, giving the player(s) more impact on the game-world through the mere act of character creation. Now, if they decide to take one such a lofty role, I'd expect them to respect the framework of the narrative.
I just have a hard time getting into the psychology of a pre-made character, which adversely impacts my capabilities to RP them.

 

[Dao Whiplash]

I like to create my own. I've tried pre made before and eh...it didnt work out too well
