Yeah, Birdie. As long as the personalities aren't all the same and there's a variety, we can still base the characters off of ourselves. The reason that we were warning against it before, though, was because all of the characters ended up having very similar personalities. I actually based my character almost entirely off of myself (eheheh //slapped). However, it didn't interfere with the personality differentiation because there were no characters with the same personality type (gotta love them brutally honest characters who don't give a crud about your feelings ohohoho).

Also, I think that the artists and writers are probably going to go back in and do tweaks to the characters. If we need to change the genders, race, or something else about the characters to add a bit more balance, that should be expected. Don't be offended if your female character ends up being a dude in the end xD
