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.

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.
