Oh nooooooooo! I think your dating pool might be cooked.
I finally came up with a good answer. I’d have posted about my D&D character for sure. I got into D&D when I was 11 or 12 because a friend taught me to play with his hand-me-down AD&D 2e books, and then I liked it so much he handed them down to me. In 2014 D&D 5e released, and there was a ton of hype around it because many fans really hated 4e and refused to play it (although I liked it, I appreciated that it gave an option to play a different kind of game).
So if I had a similar learning-to-play story, I’d have existed at the nexus of at least three different editions, all of which I would have liked for the way they emphasize different parts of the game. So because I was 12 my online D&Dsona would definitely have been a wizard who was an involuntary time traveler, who kept getting transported to different eras where magic worked differently. I imagine he’d have the same name that I use in video games, Ryven Toli, and that I would have roleplayed actually being him, during a point in his life where he was magically transported to 21st century Earth and none of his spells work.
If I had been exposed to the 3e rules there is about a 50% chance he would have been a gnome, because my favorite item on any equipment list is 3e’s Gnomish Riding Dog. Regardless of whether he’s actually a gnome, he has a dog and their name is Sherbert (or possibly Sherbet, but still pronounced with the r for mysterious reasons). His familiar is a cat, and their name may have been Belphegor because I was a fiend for stealing names from characters I liked and Belphegor is Miho’s cat from MegaTokyo.
In terms of personality, I imagine that he’s mostly a self-insert, but that I’m imagining myself at least 20% cooler.
So far only 1 person has replied and they said they would make an Elden Ring character…
Elden Ring didnt exist in 2014…
We arent going to make it…
