Normally I don't enjoy roleplaying [i]myself[/i] or a character that is based off of my own personality/traits/what have you. While that makes the character easy to write by allowing me to just ask [i]"What would [b]I[/b] do/say?"[/i], it usually ends up in me losing interest in the character quite quickly.

However, recently I've been implementing one or two traits I myself have into my characters- I've found it lets me relate to the character without over-saturating him with, well...me.
