Me and my main character are similar in some ways, and vastly different in others... I'd say we could maybe be acquainted, at best have a mutual friend that we hang out with regularly, so we keep meeting up. No hate, no love, we would just kinda be chill, I guess.

Mine worships UFC, craves a good fight, and has complete dominion over lightning. Chances are, I'm cooked a billion times over if he was ever bored. ?

I once asked this question in a thread as a questioner. Now I answer it as an answerer.

The answer is, FMC is a version of my other personality. If FMC met me in RL, then we would just look at each other and understand each other as one conscious entity. "I'm her. She is me."

Note:
FMC is named Marry El Rose. She is a former executioner of justice in a dark fantasy world where tyrants rule and play with the law at will, even treating the people as 'commodities'.

She is a former royal princess who abandoned her name and honor to become the final judge for (sinful) humanity.

Her slogan is, "When the law was dead, then I will be the law. Blood for blood."

The world called her as Blood Rose Princess. She bore the sins of the world alone, executing cruel tyrants (who were never touched by the law) and remembering every sin and cry of the victims of tyranny.

But when she succeeded in saving the world, the world 'forgot' (her existence). Now she lives in a remote valley as a young mother raising her little daughter in a world that has forgotten its sins.

Marry El Rose is an ethical mirror, reflecting how truth and (silent) heroism are often forgotten by the world simply because the burden is deemed too dark to bear for a world that chooses to live in 'peace' from the past. But Marry El Rose has no regrets; now she just wants to live in peace with her little daughter.
Oooo that's super interesting. I will have to add that to my reading list when i get time. But i think my MC will actually think of her as a role model. Roderick might seem rough around the edges with some anger issues. But in reality he has the enthusiasm of a kid to become a hero, and the determination of a mountain. He is very thickheaded, so he won't admit it but she is cool fr.

10/10
(I've abbreviated the titles of my incomplete projects that have not been posted yet.) My MCs from ALC wouldn't like me much. My MC from APP would try to hurt me just because he could. My MC from ATS I could befriend. My MC from ISS would probably try to swindle or con me if I met her early in the story or try and help me if I met her later in the story. My MC from BoD needs therapy; that being said, I could probably befriend him. My MC from LQ has a single-track mind; she'd be too focused on the things she cares about to notice me. My MCs from SW would not even notice my existence; they are busy trying to survive their ordeals.
I don't even know how many stories that is so far, just how far did bro write T^T. But i did notice a pattern. Most of theme kinda follow similar troops. Coincidence?

Relationship score 6/10 because most of them are your enemies.


Aria would probably lay on the couch, order pizza and have us play a fighting game or MTG or something. She could be convinced into going to the bar with a lot of effort.
I would call that a sister tbh. It's good it's wholesome tho
8/10

I doubt I could bond with any of them, they are too similar to me. Plus my mc’s are really not people you’d wanna be much friends with. They only know aura farming.
So no relationship gotta rate that 0/10 then. But let's make it aura/10 for you.

I would go as my thesis adviser, except in his previous life he's the youngest PhD in physics at 10, so it would be very weird
The weird thing here is i finished university homework to be greeted with that in replies. Absolutely insane. Mind me asking what does the story talk about. Is it like genius physicest reincarnation?

9/10
Definitely not going well. Our interests and goals are completely different. The world is different too, and the language creates so many barriers.

But if the story were set in the real world, without magic or supernatural elements, he might teach me many things in his expertise since he has so much experience in real conflict zones. Maybe we could get along, or maybe we couldn’t, since our personalities are quite different.
You don't really need similar personalities or interests to befriend anyone. It just happens. Would give it a lower score for the uncertainty there tho.

Relationship is 5/10 (middle nice area)

My first MC would be indifferent and just leave to do her own things, like just go out in the world and be a terrorist or explore uncharted land.

My second MC is an emotionally traumatized catholic turned atheist girl, she would sob after finding out her nightmare is over. If she found out I wrote the story, she would attempt to kill me. Other than that, I become her therapist and maybe trauma bonding buddies.
I mean if the theme is healing it's a 9/10 if it's actively hunting you down it's may u survive/10.

The mc would try to kill me... But fail as I have no enemies-nya.
What if he didn't watch Vinland Saga?

Thorofin-nya?/10

I think Nyx or Cylene will just ask what is wrong with me. They won't have energy to absolutely destroy me because they're going to be so exasperated from my shenanigans.
Well, Nyx will hit me very hard from the shits I thrown her way, but at least I won't die.
First reply to be certain of his MC intent to kill them. The relationship score is definitely barely 2/10 but i will watch the drama. Please record your suffering when Nyx come to life, and dm me. ??

Depending on the Mc, but Yin would probably have the urge to kick me, regularly or just be...done with me.
Also if she knew I am responsible for the stuff that happened she would probably beat me into a pulp.
Well relationship score is 5/10 if the above, seems a bit bratty in nature that's all. But 1/10 of you are beaten to a bulb. I wish for your speedy recovery.
Mc is basically just a more immature me from the past before character development came around.
Interesting would they try to kill you to be the og one then?

??/10 for further investigation

Hmm...

MFGR - Nick - Self Inserted wish fulfilment - Probably either hate each other or be like brothers.
DEN - John - I based him off my Grandfather, well at least what I remember of him, he died in the mid 90s. I would give almost anything to sit down and have a beer with that man now that I am in my 40s.
TN - Too soon to tell.
With nick it's a 8/10 brother relationship are wholesome in most cases so ya ya.

For john it's 100/10 i like grandpa lore. Mainly because i didn't get to have one for long myself too. Definitely a good character idea, ma'am.

Let's see... if we go by personality and the general normal equivalent of their roles because otherwise, I'd run screaming from most of them.


I'd end up being a chaotic gamer friend with Ava and Rowen. I'd still be a tank type character in whatever game we're playing while Rowen would be heals and Ava would be the chaotic DPS who runs off and pulls all the mods and makes us wipe (She'd be our Leroy Jenkins really).

Ara would be that friend that would force me outside my comfort zone. The whole 'try this food', 'exercise like this', 'watch this horror movie' kind of friend. The kind that annoyingly helps you grow.

Elias would probably not interact with me at all because we'd share no intersecting points, and my life wouldn't be interesting at all to him.

Rachel would probably try and convince me to buy more books and that conspiracy theories are real.

Lia and I would end up making smut AI bots together and eventually making them way too complicated and detailed so they morph into really weird RPG bots.

Calix would build me a shed and fix my house and only demand I cook him food as payment.
I only see a chaotic friend group. This is basically your common D&D party meme at this point, and i like it. Great friendship overall. 10/10. Tell Rachel, Elias is hiding something. Ain't no way the quite kid is not part of the conspiracy.

Oh, me and good old V.

If he were alive right now, he would be 45.

We would only meet once at some shady bar somewhere in Japan by accident. The bar would have some slow jazz in the background (like the bar scene in Jupiter Jazz (Part 1)) it would be snowing outside. I would enter the bar to get away from the cold. V would already be sitting there drinking alone, pondering about man. I'll sit down on a bar stool and order a drink.

The wind would be beating against the door, with the only sound inside being slow jazz.

The smell of stale smoke would roam throughout the bar.

And neither of us would dare talk to each other, just drifting through thought.
Oh you work is set in the past of the real world? Not so far away at that. Definitely gives me steins gate vibes for some reason. The best relations between men is the one made on the fly tho. I would give that 10/10, thanks for the detailed scene too.

For Jack Diamond, I'd be Jack's ghost writer, putting his jumbled thoughts into a slightly more coherent form.

Dane Coleman ("Digital Cowboy Dane" - Pocket FM) would be amused by me, thinking I was driving his world when, in fact, multiple forces were conspiring to create it in the first place.

Honestly have no clue how Kelly Pierce (any version) would respond. Though the original female Kelly would probably think I was a stalker and have me arrested or placed on a restraining order (but it would be worth it).

Nathan ("True Blue") would be pestering me for questions about his origins, assuming I knew.

I'd be just another gamer for the "Between Earth and Pyrroth" (PocketFM) crew.

Nick Sato would wonder why I made him work for everything when the powers he gained later would have made his earlier adventures so much easier... ("The Kaiju System" - HoneyFeed)
So most of them is creator x creation interactions. Not a big fan myself, but it does make sense. Also That's a lot of work there bud, since when did you start writing.

Relationship score is 6/10

She's my twin sister, born four minutes earlier than me, and I'm always living in her shadow. However, there are times when she's too busy to do certain people, and we swap places on such occasions.
Ooo I don't remember when i read a similar plot before. But i do like the dynamic. Would give it a relationship score of 7/10 for vagueness of your or her feelings about the relationship. But would here the drama.
Me and my main character are similar in some ways, and vastly different in others... I'd say we could maybe be acquainted, at best have a mutual friend that we hang out with regularly, so we keep meeting up. No hate, no love, we would just kinda be chill, I guess.
Well the chill is good too. I think a score of 7/10 is good for that
Mine worships UFC, craves a good fight, and has complete dominion over lightning. Chances are, I'm cooked a billion times over if he was ever bored. ?
In respected of now departed soul. You get the score.

RIP/10 may you find peace, brother ??

I've been developing a series for a long time. The MC of it would be someone I'd never be able to get close to. Mostly because he's a Prince of a Kingdom that can 1v1 the US and I'm a broke Redneck

They need flaws to learn and grow, except the guy from APP; he just sinks deeper.

Well, those stories all started sometime between March and November of 2024 (sort of - the first paragraph of Strange Awakening was the result of a challenge issued on a gaming forum about ten years ago, that sat on my hard drive with nowhere to go for three years, then I got a game called Mighty Protectors and that gave me the impetus to resurrect the story and give it a direction; Jack Diamond has been kicking around in my head since the 90s but never really saw light of day until last year; and I wrote the first seven chapters of True Blue back in the nineties and stumbled on them when I was just getting back into writing last year), but I've been writing since about the age of seven, so just a year shy of fifty.

I honestly believe that they would kill and torture me on sight. But let's say that they can't, I am going to be shunned so bad. I would try to suggest them ways to make their life better and I will be cursed for it because they really don't care for me. On the other hand, I would be extremely shameless and live in their palace because hey, I gave that to you. It is best that they remain fictional.

The genius part is tied more on me being lazy and his backstory

Koron: "So you made the universe."
"Ya huh."
"And intentionally ensured it was horrific, grimdark madness where suffering is expected, happy endings dont occur, and everyone dies painfully?"
"I mean, I didn't make THAT (for legal reasons), but your personal suffering, yes."
"....I'm going to ensure that the last sound you hear in this life will be your children's dying screams."
