Actually, here's a couple of questions regarding your experience with avatar characters:
Have you ever had a character become an avatar you didn't expect? Sort of an avatar drift? Again, this is mostly based on the serendipitous connection between your posts and the conversation, but I find that happens pretty often in games. It also, sometimes, happens in writing, though not quite as much - I suppose it's because I have more (*snerk*) control over the circumstances of the characters in writing.
How strong do you think a personal trait (yours) has to be in order to animate a character? Now that I'm thinking, I've also written and portrayed a whole lot of different aspects of myself and the first post I made involves those that are, in some way (to me) fit to make protagonists.
Finally, how do you think the gender, sexuality and species of each character informs or is informed by the fact of it being an avatar?

A host of nosy questions.
