Hey guys!
Joy and I were talking about an interesting subject a few weeks ago that remained in my mind until this day--how a character reflects a little piece of you. As an example, each of my 6 [soon to be 7] characters reflect a little piece of who I am, so I thought it would be a neat idea for everyone to share what areas of yourselves are reflected by your characters.
Rain - She reflects my silence, my caring and altruistic side. She's my more mature side, but my more flirtatious aspect that I only share with my loved one. She represents my desire to understand the deep things in life, my constant search to quench that insatiable thirst of believing in the more profound aspects. She also represents my ability to quickly detect when someone is struggling with something, just by looking at their eyes.
Kujo is my gentle side. Soft, caring, sweet, always feeling a deep connection with nature. He also represents my inspiration to find the best in people, and my frequency to forget my own needs to place other's over mine.
Thanatos is my perfectionist side. He is troubled, always arguing with himself, always doubting, always questioning. He represents my sometimes unstable mind that sometimes gets the best of me. But he is loyal to the end, like I am. However, he has great faith in his Great Spirit, just like I have faith in God, and I am a monotheist like he is.
Kayi is my desire to improve, my constant search for redemption; she's my desire to be stronger in the midst of trials, and my fight with my past and the scars that it left. She also represents my horrible fear of loosing my parents and loved ones.
Beleth is my cold side. He represents my struggle with obsessive tendencies and my struggle to keep my emotions in check. He represents the times in which I close myself and feel stone cold. But deep inside my conscience screams at me to come out of the stone walls I built around myself.
Arya is my search for wonder. She represents my fear of being ridiculed, and my fight with bullying when I was a kid. She represents my determination and my search for something more, and to give life a meaning beyond what I can see. She is easy to forgive, and her innocence is a part of me I never want dead.
Ayame represents my struggle with the shadow of depression. There are times that I close in myself so much that things around me stop making sense, and my surroundings seem hazy and weird. I begin to feel like everything around me is not real, and she will represent that constant state of derealization I get when I am in stress or depressed, or even out of nowhere. I begin to feel like time, life, and the things I see are an illusion and that they are not real. But I try to search for something, desperately, to act like an anchor to drag me back into reality.
What about you guys? What do your characters represent?
