In a general sense, I tried really hard not to base any of the characters on me. The approach I took - splitting it up and basing several of the characters around distinctly different aspects of my personality - sometimes creates an undesired resemblance (especially when they talk, it seems), but fortunately prevents any one character from becoming an outright manifestation of the author. I hope.



I did notice that (especially in the naming of your title character)... and I did pick up on several facets of your personality - music, gaming, self-perceived 'skill' with the ladies, adopted, etc. And, yeah, that may be a part of it... but I just noticed that everyone seems to use your personal slang, your particular 'meter' (which, admittedly, can be difficult to shake when you're writing), and the like.

Not saying this to drag you down - just making you aware.
