forum how are you most similar to your character(s), and how are you most different?

i'll go first, with Page!

we're both tall girls who like girls, and we both really think we can cut our own hair, whether or not that's true. we both do the absolute bare minimum if we don't care about something, so that we can spend more time on the stuff we do care about. and we're both ~social butterflies~ (to some extent anyway).

on the other hand, she doesn't really enjoy academics, meanwhile i am a big old nerd. her talents lie more in the realm of, ya know, sportz. in fact, she even has a track scholarship! as for me, i did run cross country from 6th grade until 12th grade actually, and i had one of the same coaches the whole time. preseason before 12th grade, he said to my mom “if you had asked me six years ago, ‘if someone comes to every practice and runs for years and tries their best, will they inevitably become a better runner?’ i would have said, yes, of course. but charlotte has proven me wrong. i have never in my 30 years of coaching seen an athlete improve less." he wasn’t trying to be mean! he didn’t sound mean at all, just incredulous. that would decidedly not happen to Page.

anyway, enough about my shortcomings, it's your turn!

Mike is similar to me in that we're both introverted, ace, slight overthinkers, practical dressers, and more comfortable alone/in nature than anywhere else. We're also both the "reserved" one in our families, and we're both short. Oh yeah, and we're both Sagittarians ^^
However, we're different in that he's a very grounded, stubborn, assertive person and I'm more underconfident and go-with-the-flow-ish. He's physically fit, enduring, and a great fighter (while I, on the other hand, get sore from carrying around a weed-whacker and couldn't punch someone if they were trapped in molasses and screaming profanities at me XD) He's also a great leader and isn't afraid to tell people what he thinks they need to hear, but I freeze up when making decisions and tend to tiptoe around the feelings of others. And I, unlike him, am comfortable displaying emotions in public X'D

Huehuehuehuehuehue
Kip and me have had our hair dyed red, we both have a strange fondness for arson, we will stab someone for a hotcoccoa packet, we're both italian and can do way to many accents, have both lied about our names for the laughs.

Azami and I are both massive idiots who love the ocean, we both have/had blue hair, we both have a little brother, and we love our friends too much, and we're artists.

Harli and I are both practically mute in uncomfortable situations, and we both rather wear actual physical masks than show our faces and emotions, we both also love to drink a cup of plain steaming hot water sitting out on the porch watching the rain fall, we both like gardening as well.
Though, Harli wishes he had someone to talk to or at least be around, he is completely alone. while I wish I could be as alone as he is, he is really tall and I'm really short, also He looks good in all kinds of hats and I look stupid, he had a bad relationship with his parents while I have a pretty good one.

kacey and i are both black, not straight, chubby and we enjoy tennis!! however she's much more outgoing than me and she's not a lazy bum.
nabila and i both wear glasses, have brown eyes and are/were gifted kids. she makes a great leader and is good at bossing people around, while i'm more likely to be the one bossed around.
karuko and i are both chaotic crackheads who like wearing hoodies and chunky white shoes. she and i are considered the 'funny ones' of our friendship groups. on the other hand, she doesn't play by the rules and is unpredictable but i'm the 'good kid' and i'm scared to step out of line.

all of my characters are kinda varying aspects of my personality, things i wish i was more of, or, in thema's case, just like….made to kinda be what i'd be into ykno?

catori has my love of knives, though some of us aren't allowed to have fancy daggers so she's living out my dream. she's the chaotic aspects of me, the adrenaline junkie and thrill seeker and honestly she's probably just as scared of heights as i am, but does what she does to cope with that fear

cisco is my daddy issues, the middle school me who talked about anything but what i was actually feeling or going through, who kept everyone at arm's length because people never stopped leaving. luckily, i'm not an underaged alcoholic. he still carries the fear that he's exactly like his father, something i struggle with so often, and he and i both hate ourselves for that possibility.

jo is similar in that way, the traumatized parts of me that want to hide away and pretend the world doesn't exist and that people don't exist because i'm not sure how well i can handle losing more people to things out of my control. he's also got my love of plants

kas is the sweet, flowerchild parts of me i want people to see, and know me as. the wholesome, the patience i wish i had. he's got the large and loving family i sometimes wish i had–my family loves me, it's just the extended part of it that's so dysfunctional–and he never gives up on people, never loses hope in the good that he believes everyone still has. he's not jaded, maybe seems a bit naive but he's a believer and hopes regardless of the consequences.

a lot of my other characters match up with some of the things mentioned here, funny enough usually daddy issues. i think it might be time to head back to therapy lmao

however, the things my characters have that i lack tend to be the same

confidence, usually. whether they had it or they gain it or are just great at faking it, which i actually can related to. and also, they get a happy ending. their happy ending is planned. mine? i'm still working on that, but i'm trying to write it in

Me and my Oldest character Face.
Weeeelll, we're both boys and we put on a happy tone. We distract people from strange things or lies we tell from jokes and laughs. We both act like idiots but we really plan everything out carefully and are fully aware of what's happening at all time. We have crappy memory for important things but when it comes to dumb shit we're the men to call. We address ourselves as kings for comedy and we're the center of attention. We're both Really talkative and "party freak" with friends but are awkward and quiet when it comes to other people. We both don't understand hate towards people since mentioning them means you care enough about their existence then you should . We're both quick to dismay people who are famous or loved and opt for the number 2 option all the time.

We're different since I don't have a huge freaking mask covering half of my face. I hate (and this is the only thing I hate) when people worry and beg to people who can help another people. On the other hand, Face understands that people cry and beg since they are passionate about the other person so he doesn't care about it. Face is more optimistic and turns everything into a party.
And yeah, thanks for listening to my TedTalk
