Though I haven’t really RP’d so much since I started raiding…ah well. Even now though, when I make new characters, sometimes I have a loose idea as to their personality, sometimes not. Usually I’ll just let the character tell me who they are as I play it. Sounds wierd, but as I’m running around questing, some lil tidbit of personality will creep into things and I’ll file it away. Maybe I’ll try to reason why I’m doing quest after quest: who is giving them to me? Why? For my DK, what’s her motivation for going forth and slaying evil? How does she think of Arthas? What about her family? Stuff will just come to me and eventually I have enough to where a personality forms.

It’s all mostly for my own benefit and pleasure since I don’t RP these days. I don’t find that my *own* personality changes with various toons I play, like, I’m not more aggressive of a player when I’m on my DK or anything. I might be more daring on my DK simply cause she’s my alt and I can be more stupid and careless on her since she’s not my raiding main.

I also had a friend who was the most conscientious healer ever – until she’d play her Fury warrior, when she was the epitome of irresponsible melee DPS. She was a nightmare, although it was kind of funny.

I joke that my druid is the character who has died the most because she’s reckless and daring I did really play her that way. Druid chicken jumping off cliffs, seeing how far I could jump without dying, exploring around the world, she’s the character that did it.

For me it’s a huge part of what makes each character enjoyable to play. Even if they have the same mechanics, they also have their own character and oftentimes represent a facet of your personality. It’s neat to read about yours, and what changes for you depending on which you’re playing!
