forum Do your characters describe something in your life?

Example,

Negative describes a dark part in my life that I eventually got past. I took all of those feelings and barfed out her.

I think Zero, in my stories, just kind of represents that depression and feeling of being lost. She turns into kind of a dark spirit sometimes, and that kind of represents my life sometimes I think.

All of my main characters are physical representations about different parts of society that are problematic but mostly unaddressed.

Teigi's my writer brain personified, he often seeks danger to be able to accurately write about it. Of course, there's no shortage of danger when you're a pirate.

Oooh that's a really creative idea

It gets even better: In the world of One Piece, there are these things called Devil Fruits, which give you permanent powers if you eat them. Teigi here ate the Write-Write fruit, one of two fruits I made up, so basically he can write a description of an attack/item and it'll become real. Of course, it has limitations, and it's only as good as Teigi can describe it.

Bailey represents the angsty side of me that I never show anyone as well as the side of me that is obsessive over the ones I love the most. Valorie describes the vulnerable side of me, the part of me that shows raw emotion. Koyanagi represents a part of me nobody in my life knows about- my shy side. As for Connor, Yuki, and Aiden, they don't represent anything major in me.

Austin is me but he knows what's wrong with him

Chester represents my self hatred, sucks to be him.
Lincoln represents my inability to feel emotions and my analytical nature. (I'm AroAce and I don't feel stuff I thought I was supposed to, so he represents my inability to love pretty much)
Oscar represents how trapped I feel in my life, how I live, my routine.
The Prince represents my fear of objectification among other things. His father is pretty much my dysphoria telling me I'm not man enough, and he is me wanting to be myself, even if nobody really knows what that is yet.
Harli represents my big brother side.
Landers represents my inexperience and naiveté, figuring stuff out.
