In Regards to RPG'ing what do you find easiest (for you), RPG'ing an anime character or one of your own? Options

[Yuki Fukurou]

This is just more of a stating your opinion when it comes to RPG'ing in message boards.

But...to me...I think...for me...it's sometimes easier for me to be my own character at times. Reason...most of the time, I can somehow get into the character's head & have the storyline flow exactly or nearly as I have set it up to be. Same thing goes with creating stories at times.

Ultimately, I think RP'ing your own character is easier, if only because you have more freedom. If you're RPing as an anime character, you have a history you can't contradict; if I was RPing as Hikaru, I couldn't say, I've been training in kendo since I was ten!, because she beat her dad in a fight when she was five (And I don't care if this is a fantasy anime, that's just ridiculously over-the-top). Playing as a pre-established character can give the illusion of being easier since you already have some information to work with, but if you're playing with your own character you don't have to worry about stepping out of bounds because you're the one setting them.

There are both pros and cons of making characters either way. Using a previously created character makes things much easier at the beginning because anyone that has seen the anime or read the manga that they are from will already have a well developed concept of what the character's personality and philosophy of life are like. On the downside, a player wouldn't be free to deviate very far from their character's precreated reality. For example, I couldn't easily portray MKR Hikaru as a police officer. This is not the case with an original character. With an OC, literally, the universe is the limit and I can make up any sort of person that I can imagine. The downside with an OC is that no one has ever seen or heard of them before. The other players must rely solely on the information that I supply in my character's profile to interpret how my character will react and behave. So an OC requires much more work on the player's part at first than a pre-created stock character would. I've played both myself and really don't have any preference either way.
