When given the option to create and customise your own character in video games what’s your creative process?

Dare i also ask how it has or hasn’t changed since becoming your real self?

If you have pictures I’d love to see!

    Someone pointed out to to me that I’d basically been making the same woman every time. Just as close to that woman as each game would let me. Turns out I was trying to make myself this whole time.

    I haven’t actually played a game with a character creator recently but I think maybe now I might be more interested in playing as other women, that aren’t me.

      Hehe, yeah I was always making my ideal self as well! I didn’t know I was trans and I was always sorta scared to let people see I was always playing a girl that looked like me, so I would sometimes play a guy just to shake things up. Throw people off the scent. I didn’t know what I was hiding or why, there was just unexplained shame that I never explored.

        Keep em guessing! Video game character creators are such useful gender playgrounds I think.

        Yeah basically, as best i can with what I’ve got to work with! I’m still early in transition, im very much looking forward to getting closer and closer to the woman I’ve wanted to be my whole life.
