When given the option to create and customise your own character in video games what’s your creative process?

Dare i also ask how it has or hasn’t changed since becoming your real self?

If you have pictures I’d love to see!

I have been talking a lot about this in therapy recently. How all my previous hobbies were extremely dissociative. Video games being a major one, but really anything that let me forget I was an embodied human being.

Since cracking I'm really not feeling the urge to dissociate at all. I'm still waiting on hormones to start but I hope it continues honestly.

    That is probably it, I also noticed that I don't have this urge and need to play pen & paper RPGs where I could try myself out in a female role, now I just play female characters and have fun playing. I don't quite know how to put it in words, I guess the best way to describe it is that playing pen & paper RPGs seems optional now and not mandatory anymore to be able to survive (as in "get through the day" and I could barely think of anything else in the week before meeting up with friends to play).
