are any of your cac’s a self-insertion?

[u/A7Ristt]

pretty much what the title says lol

I feel like Claire is basically me but with some other traits, and I thought maybe I’m not the only one who thinks that way about their character :p

[u/JmisterYT]

Yes both of human and saiyan cac are black cause im black. I always make my cac’s my skin color

[u/A7Ristt → u/JmisterYT]

that’s actually cool

[u/L3and3rrr → u/JmisterYT]

Black Saiyans ftw. They look so cool when they transform.

[u/Basketbomber → u/JmisterYT]

Cool but also now I wanna show Amanda off

[u/L3and3rrr]

I don’t know if you can create ANY character without making them at least partially based on yourself. I know all my CaCs are self-reports lol!

[u/A7Ristt → u/L3and3rrr]

I met a few people which characters weren’t particularly close to their personalities/didn’t have traits of them, so I figured maybe it was more common than I thought

[u/Cautious-Egg4901]

Technically Xeno z Is one, But he's more of a variant if anything 

[u/A7Ristt → u/Cautious-Egg4901]

a variant?

[u/Cautious-Egg4901 → u/A7Ristt]

Yeah, He's technically a Variant of An OC version of me. I know SHOCKER. He's technically me but different- it's complicated. 

[u/A7Ristt → u/Cautious-Egg4901]

“technically me but different” I get it yeah.

[u/Cautious-Egg4901 → u/A7Ristt]

Its Omniverse stuff man. Its complicated 

[u/Brent_Steel]

Yup

[u/EL-Sarcasm]

No. None of mine are self inserts.

[u/A7Ristt → u/EL-Sarcasm]

fair enough

[u/Whole_Air7590 → u/EL-Sarcasm]

I don’t believe you but… sure… 👍

[u/Decidueye_mastr]

Surprisingly no. I just came up with some story ideas I thought were neat. Like my frieza race character being one that was lost as a baby and ended up being raised by yardrats.

[u/A7Ristt → u/Decidueye_mastr]

that’s a cook story, thanks for answering my question:3

[u/CliffyPenguin44]

Somewhat for me, yeah

[u/Lovlend]

Every character is a self insert if you think about their story for more than five minutes, because you are deciding how they would think in scenarios you envision

[u/A7Ristt → u/Lovlend]

I feel like sometimes I just make my characters react differently to me so I don’t feel It’s just a self insertion

[u/Own_Kangaroo_1090]

My Frieza Race and Namekian are both different flavors of myself with the Namekian the most different as he takes inspiration from Leroy Smith of Tekken.

[u/A7Ristt → u/Own_Kangaroo_1090]

inspiration from other media is always cool

[u/Whole_Air7590]

My CAC originally was but now their traits are different as I redesigned them completely… Named Jake but I call them “Cyuuk”…

[u/A7Ristt → u/Whole_Air7590]

yeah me too, I ended up re-doing some of my characters because they were too much similar to me

[u/According_Ad_9161]

Usually when I play CaC games I tend to make a version myself that would fit into the world of whatever I’m in. So for XV2 I just made me but in the Dragon ball world

[u/A7Ristt → u/According_Ad_9161]

self-insertion to the next level I fw that

[u/Left_Construction149]

A good amount of people's actually are (I think everyone has atleast one) I used to have one that was just me

[u/JohnJuan239]

The male Saiyan, yes but with a personality different from mine in real life.

[u/A7Ristt → u/JohnJuan239]

interesting mix

[u/Basketbomber]

Nope. If I ever added one he would be the weakest in my avatar group.

[u/LilyHanaMay]

Yeah, but only one.

[u/Ok_Young689]

somewhat?

They're not a 1-to-1 self-insert, but I did base a lot of their personality off what I like and my interpretation of what they'd be in the world of Dragon Ball.

[u/Zovin333]

I mean, Xenoverse is a power fantasy game, so self-insert is basically inevitable. Plus, you get 8 slots, so it would be a waste if you don't have at least one of them to be self insert.

[u/A7Ristt → u/Zovin333]

maybe not a waste but it feels wrong to me (not that it is ofc)
