Edit (again-) Is your character based on you? (Thanks Astoria ^w^)

i'm sure no one could possibly take this thread the wrong way despite a number of trolling/baity topics started by you before.
I just wanna say that this person has apologized for their mistakes and realized that they went to far in the past. This isn’t a troll thread and it’s powerful for any person to come forward on their skin tone, since many could have negative feelings (I don’t wanna put a word on it) with going with the skin color that they aren’t irl c:

i think it's great that you accepted their apology!
i believe actions speak louder than words though and this thread doesn't convince me that they've really learned (y)
edit: not sure why my previous post was deleted since i was being respectful and putting emotional/mental labor into educating others on the history behind certain micro-aggressions, but i respect this isn't the forum for that and will kindly step away from this thread. hope everyone has a great day. for reference, my character is a medium tan color.

That’s fine! C: I don’t wanna start anything haha so I hope I didn’t come off that way! I just wanna play devils advocate ig and show the other side of the thread. I get where someone can be upset about it and I don’t have the right to talk about race since I am Caucasian c:

Yup, my character is based on me, and the skin tone is the second lightest, I think - I dress her the way I would and have her hair closest to mine in color and style as possible. Everything aside from the name, which I use my online name instead of my own is more or less modeled after me. I do 'cosplay' sometimes and change up my hair/eyebrows/clothes to dress up as a different character sometimes (I do really like that we can change hairstyle and color on a whim without having to pay for it anymore, really encourages stuff like that!), but for the most part I'm myself, and I wear realistic clothes rather than cutesy pastel clothes.
 
AC is one of the games where my character is loosely based on me, and in those cases I usually pick the second lightest skin color. My other characters get the same colors as the OCs they're based on (super pale, another #2, and one of the lighter brown tones respectively), and the last character is just there to turn their house into a tourist information and not based on anything, I'll probably go with the darkest skin for them to have some variety.
 
Not really! I have long black hair, while my char has short red hair.
Currently thinking about switching color irl tho!
We have same skin and eye color tho!
 
I have my skin tone as similar to myself, so pretty pasty white. I may make myself slightly tan for summer, though.
 
I chose the medium/ brown skin tone because that's my actual color 😅😂 if given the appropriate options, I try to make the character(s) as close to me as possible. It's fun ^^
 
Not necessarily. I stuck with the European complexion, but I don't have blond hair or green eyes in real life. And I also don't wear a viking outfit and a kilt in real life, either, though it would be cool to be able to.

It'd be cool if you dyed and cut your hair like your acnh character,,I like the whole salem witch you got going-
 
I always base my characters off myself, at least in the first towns of every game. Her name is my name, Ali, and she's the whitest tone possible with the pink overtone. I'm in the same race as simon cowell, constantly pinker than I should be
