    I’m very easy to identify with characters in stories since it doesn’t have to be everything, I resonate with parts of Elphaba from the Wicked musical, parts of Amity Blight from The Owl House,

    Stanley from the Stanley parable. My life is a mundane existential nightmare that I have little control over.

    Velma from Scooby Doo. She was the first fictional girl character I not only identified with but also had a crush on before I recognized that I was bisexual.

    In Watch Dogs 2 the initial hackerspace is in the basement of a game store in the lower Haight in San Francisco, which smacks smartly of Gamescape on Divisadero Street between Oak and Fell. It’s still there according to Google, even though everything around it was gentrified out of existence, including the cheap flat I lived in.

    I’m pretty sure my years as a Gamescape regular inspired the character Josh Sauchak. I lived with the woman who probably inspired Sitara Dhawan, and we are pretty sure of the identity of the guy who inspired Wrench.

        I don’t know who wrote the characters. Some developers in Ubisoft in the early 2010s, I presume. Looking at the extensive credits, I never found a name that I recognized.

        It could all be coincidence, but there’s a significant amount of similarity.

    Weirdo answer, but Geralt from the Witcher games.

    I can relate to the somewhat outcast with a specialized skillset that people need but also loathe to pay for.

      Well, I think my answer is stranger. And the fact that you like the Herald is a reason to be proud, in my humble opinion.

    A combination of Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin, whatever the name of the character Jon Goodman played in Roseanne… and… Donkey Kong.

    Gojo Wakana from my dress up darling and Komi Shouko from Komi can’t communicate. It’s best if I’m just left alone
