❅ : Advice to non-role play blogs that want to get started?
Just do it! Just start writing. You'll learn more about the character or your writing partners the more you do it. So just do it! There's always going to be a bit of a hump to get over when starting but you'll find your niche eventually and things will fall into place. If you don't wanna commit to a separate blog or whatever right away then a sideblog or rp's on discord/dms are a totally great way to get started!!
✔ : What drew you to the character you currently play? What types of characters are you generally drawn to?
Fun fact! I actually HATED Makoto at first. An old partner on my Mikan Tsumiki blog (@hxpelessnurse) suggested that I would like Makoto when I first started playing the game but when I finally got to meeting Makoto in game I really disliked her. I thought she was bitchy and bossy and I didn't see why my friend would think I liked her. But then I saw her Persona awakening and that was it. I was in love (and I still am).
As for the type of characters I tend to go for when choosing muses, I don't think I really have a type. I stick to female or female-presenting muses though because I am most comfortable writing them. Examples of muses I have/have had: Chell from Portal, Ellie Langford from Dead Space, Elizabeth Comstock from Bioshock Infinite, Clementine from TWDG, Mikan Tsumiki and Aoi Asahina from DanganRonpa, Tsuyu Asui from BNHA/MHA, Claire Redfield from RE, among others.

Makoto is so much smarter than me. In more than one category. She's academically smarter than me as well as smarter when it comes to combat and fighting. I have a hard time portraying that because I am only academically smart in certain subjects while she is smart in all subjects. I may have a BFA but I also only have three braincells and consider myself a bimbo.
