Personally, I am the same way. I have a very deep disconnect between me and my characters, they are playthings born of my imagination. I love them, and I sometimes put in identifying traits with them, but overall the characters are not me. They will be angry, or have mental illness, theyll be...
Awesome! I can play just about any of the canon cast, never made an OC but I could probably whip one up real quick. If you want to, DM me the sheets of the characters you're interested in playing, and we can look them over and talk out a rough plot?
Unknowingly started on Animaljam.
Officially started on ponysquare, but that site shut down years ago. Since then I found random rps through friends on discord.
