Im am mostly a Roleplayer but I typically take the stance of roleplaying but wanting to be as powerful as my character would naturally want to be and I typically wont ever gimp myself specifically when it comes to stats since that feels more like a gimmick "oh look im a wizard with low intelligence isn't that wacky"
I feel that most of my characters i've made are aspects of my personality and ideals that i make the main focus of for the character since with either so twist or dialing those aspects up or down
i find it difficult to roleplay as someone completely unlike me but i don't wanna play as me because me is me.
