I am in love with my character on Mass Effect
I made the mistake of making my character a woman, and now I'm in love with her. This, obviously, causes problems in my social life when I talk about my girl. She is easy to describe, but now my friends want to meet this gun-toting Marine who I adore so much.
But is it really so surprising that I fell in love with her? I mean, I was allowed to change every aspect of her appearance to match my "type," and so I made her an ultra-gorgeous superwoman. And now, I am allowed to control everyplace she moves, everything she does, and everything she says so that she has just the right mix of independence, toughness, edginess (I made her sit down at the strip club to watch the show for a few minutes), humor, and sassiness. Plus she wears hot outfits, shoots guns, has magical powers, and has a sexy voice.
My girlfriend is gonna be so pissed off when she finds out.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Bionic Juice SELF LOVE FANTASY! :p When you make a Character, You develope their life, you experiance their troubles, their sorrows, their pain, their thoughts, you share everything, they are your character, they become a part of you and you a part of them. You "fall in love" because you control them, Cause them to have troubles, force them to redeem themselfs; or not. They are you in a different situation, each of you feel the same pain. I speak of them as if they were real because essentially they are. They have every emotion, thought, reaction, and "spirit" that you have. You have re-created yourself. In a different body, time, and situation. They can be your alter ego in some ways. Or you could be their alter ego. Your true self may be shown through your character. (not that you are a woman :p) When you make a character that you control and you care for them, because you have control, You naturally fall in love, becuase it is you. Happend with me and Oblivion. :) (yes it's a girl)[/quote] um, you just described me in WoW, i feel like that person I created is me in a way, that and i like not being human.
