What characteristics or traits of the muses you play/have played are MOST and LEAST like your own?

Kino (yes that's right. the other muse I played for more than one day e__e)

MOST like... Her attitude towards people. The way she feels curious and sympathetic, but often alien from the people she meets-- a Watcher.

LEAST like... Her actual True Neutrality. I can't even pretend to be neutral about some things. Her strength and coldness, too.

Calcifer...

Just kidding. 8]

Potato

MOST... She is a "spin-off" of Tib, a character I made up a long time ago for newspaper cartoons.

So, like Tib, she is less like how I was as a kid-- and more of my "id", or the person I pretended to be in games.

That sense of wildness and perpetual fascination with nature that upsets the order adulthood tries to enforce on the world.

LEAST... XD I was not a hyperactive kid. I took very calculated risks, and I was almost OCD about certain things, like making my bed.

Ginko

LEAST... His patience and maturity. 8| His ability to say goodbye and really move on. YOU KNOW. THE LITTLE THINGS.

The hardest times to play him right? Have been when I would be embarrassed or hurt by a response and I know he wouldn't be ruffled

...like, at all. That is the exact OPPOSITE of how I behave with people. That's why Ginko is a lot better at sincerely apologizing:

he isn't embarrassed about it.

In canon, there's a scene where he comes right out with "you gave me your hospitality, and I didn't listen to your request..."

and basically leaves himself to their judgement. That takes a LOT of strength and healthy sense of self. Humility requires self esteem.

MOST...

Nature. 8|

The way he likes to live, and the things that don't concern him.

But he's more of an avatar of the qualities I'd aspire to have, than ones I DO have.

As anyone who knows me well could attest... the characters I love most deeply are the ones who exhibit selflessness as a part of their BEING

So for me, Ginko is like Vash, is like Alyosha Karamazov, is like Batman, is like Psyche, is like Hellboy, is like Aslan, is like ...well.

people who would unthinkingly give their lives for complete strangers, without regret.

who live the kind of lives that won't ever be at peace-- they'll just keep fighting, and giving, and going, until they die.

and never giving up.

So I guess that answer turned into something different 8'Da

heh, no. It's interesting to see the interconnection, really

it's not one I noticed until I thought about it XD but Pilgrim's Progress was a favorite book, as a kid, so I guess it was inevitable

that image must have be burned into my growing mind in inextricable ways

yeah...it's often the subtle details that stick unexpectedly

Hee, it's true. I think I could connect all my favorite things to the Secret Garden movie. I saw it when I was four.
