Does your vore OC(s) represent You? Or just a tool?

[Humbug]

Most of my characters are largely archetypes. The core fantasy ones tend to have some degree of relation to me, but a good portion of my characters, especially the ones for my more modern no-magic setting, are just fun ideas I want to explore or based on people I've met but am not like.

I do have two 'sonae based on myself, but I try to keep one of them (my namesake, Humbug) out of vore if I can other than as an observer/feeder, and the other one is basically a personification of my creative impulses, many of which go toward vore obviously.

My characters represent parts of my own personality sometimes, depending on my own mood. When I'm serious I default to serious characters, when feeling cheerful, humourous characters.

[Kitsouille]

Kinda all of those at the same time, a little bit.

Well, some of my characters are strictly fantasies and don't represent me at all.

Others are still mostly made-up, but do contain small snippets of myself. Mostly because the easiest way to make myself like a character is to inject a bit of my own morals into them.

I don't think my oc are representing myself. I think they're just a representation of what I find attractive in a characters, and I use them for vore fantasies.
But councerning my main oc Louka, there's some light trait of my personality that I put on him.

I also love to extend their personality, sometime I put a part of myself in order to make them feel more like a complete character, but I don't think there's a representation of me through my oc.

My main OC is pretty much me. My self insert.

[Ghrelin]

the characters i make are not meant to represent me directly, but usually have traits that i find relatable and thus reflect some aspects of myself, or at least my interests--some more so than others. i think that's pretty much unavoidable unless you're going out of your way to make a character as different from you as possible.

[IvesBentonEaton]

My characters always represent themselves, and they are chosen for a particular story or role-play—which, for me, is a collaborative story. I don't keep a list to make available for particular role-plays as I generally make new ones for each role-play, unless a role-play is a sequel to a prior role-play.

I think my OCs represent some of my character traits but only very specific ones. They don't really give a full picture of my personality.

-accidental double post, sry-

[AutumnFerret]

one of my OCs definitely does. he possesses basically every aspect of my personality and I like to project myself onto him when I write him and RP as him.

[MeTheMe]

I don't think so, but there are aspects of me in each character, just expanded and added upon to make a full character. They say it's easier to write what you know, so starting with a seed from yourself that can grow into a full character can make some interesting things happen and be a little easier to write over time.
