✼ - Do you think the character/characters you role play as reflect who you are?
Absolutely not. Viktor Nikiforov is a muse of mine, a fictional character who exists in a fictional universe. There are traits of his that I admire, but there are also things about him that I absolutely do not endorse or promote doing (alcoholism being a big one).
That said, I have multiple muses that I play, all from different backgrounds, beliefs, and personalities. While I may see parts of myself, or play parts of myself in the characters (as far as beliefs or parts of their story that aren’t already established in canon), that does not mean they are a reflection of who I am as a person.
As far as what they DO reflect about me, I would say my ability to write and see things from a perspective outside my own, definitely. And taking on muses that are so different from who I am in real life has been a huge help in allowing me to grow both as a writer and even as a person; allowing me to try different points of view.
But in the end, I am me, and Viktor is Viktor. And what I post here does not reflect who I am.
