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

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.
