I don't tend to think about my persona. This user is more like me if I thought before I spoke, and had the eternal threat of the ban-hammer hanging over me.
Are you your username?

I'm pretty much the same in real life as I am here. If you met me, I think you would recognize me, the way I talk anyway, from here. In fact, when I do meet online friends or talk to them on the phone the first time, they always tell me I look/sound just like they imagined me. I'm not sure whether or not that is a good thing.
My username is an old RP character, so, in a way, I have been M. Shcherbatskaya before in other contexts.

Just to get the "other group" represented here. I dislike people in all-black clothing, be that goth-, emo- og "scene"style; Or just plain ol' black.Erana said:
It's a bit about association, I didn't like it terribly much before, none of the above styles; But after my fathers funeral I tend to associate black garments with his funeral, and as such dislike it very much.
Black is a colour of sadness, a colour without life. I don't mind you wearing black jearns, a black shirt, a sweater or a cardigan; Whatever, just don't only wear black. If you do it to be a rebel, you're a fucking idiot, if you do it cause you like black, you're wicked and you should try and steer clear of whatever influenced you that way.
Excuse my direct tone, I don't mean to harass or discriminate, I'm just voicing my opinion.
Nah, my user name isn't my real name (I got it from a book called The Risen Empire (By Scott Westerfeld))
My actual name is Raphael Martin Canaris. A descendant of Marcel Weyland (He has his own wikipedia page)

I'm not a duck sandwich, but damn, they're delicious.
On these forums I talk very much like I do in real life. The only real difference, of course, is that I have time to gather my thoughts before putting them into words (So I speak more... clearly, instead of, ahh, talking like this as uh, I'm doing in these parentheses). Very useful for debates.
Also, my username comes from a long-running in-joke between me and two friends, which I eventually made a haiku out of (see profile), which won 1st place in some high school poetry contest. Sweet dealio.

I'd say I can be. I try to be.
My online persona is usually much more calm and collected than my IRL one, but maybe that's because I usually feel like I'm in control of a game, or what I'm saying, or that people won't judge me as much. Or they'll judge me on what I say and how I say it, rather than how I look, or if I'm staring at the floor as I say it.
It's kind of hard to explain, but I mean that I'm more 'confident' under this name. Especially under this name. On other forums I act more like a jackass but I use a different username...so hopefully people here won't auto-hate me. ^^;

i would say I am.Erana said:
In Harry Potter, Mr. Ollivander is the wand maker, and I hand carve wands for all my harry potter fan friends.
so yeah, I'm Mr. Ollivander
Im suddenly glad i didnt go with my planned username Typhoid. Although it might have been a better measure.
I suppose i am me. But...
Im more cruel and agressive online (under this name at least.) but its a survival method. In real life i can be nice or kooky and know tht any bullies who target me for it will be eating through a tube. Here, all i have is my jerky-ness to defend me. A the same time, no one can ever beat me up so i dont need to watch my mouth to others as much.

My username is what I am once I remove the restraints of my mind & don't let any such things as inhibitions, habits, or culturing control the way I act. Except for the Dragon part, of course. So yes & no. PsykoDragon is me, but it is a part of me that I have only once allowed to surface. It is not the usual me. Not even online, or here on the forums.
