Do You Have Multiple Avatar Personalities

[Tier Sufjoy]

I know the title sounds weird, but I promise I am not diagnosing folx. What I am asking is this... Do you play with multiple avatars? And if you do, do they each have a different personality? In Beforetimes, I had 5 family members (Flames, Squeals, Tyre, Giggles, and Sumoan), and each of them had a different personality. So much so that when I made missions with each one, I even changed how they talked and wrote. Sumoan had a Caribbean flair, Tyre spoke French/Franglais and Squeals had a lisp. I didn't recreate my family in SV, but I created a new group of characters. One is an educator, one is chaotic and one is me, Tier.

Anyone else do this?

I've never done this! I have other avatars on my profiles, but I rarely play with them. They mostly exist for the purpose of testing missions, modelling clothes when I need to buy them for NPCs, or simply for the benefit of using their extra home space. I do like the idea of creating unique personas though. I haven't dabbled with the role playing community, but it is something I'd be open to.

I used to do this on OG SW, I'd have my main for the more "official" things (missions, art, space design, forums, etc.) and then I'd have an alternative avatar to indulge in the more silly aspects of the game, like the fridge games, cute or boots, falling chairs, etc. Now here, not so much. I guess I've gotten to a point where I'll embrace everything without fear of how it might look externally to everyone. If I want to play a fridge game on Jamie, I will!

It's like a puppeteer and their puppet, don't you think? This was a great post to read. I look forward to seeing more responses. We know some puppeteers manage all activities with one puppet. Some puppeteers divide social and non-social activities between a few puppets. And, some puppeteers create multiple puppets purely for the sake of fostering different social activities like relationships and the circles we find ourselves in.

I only pull the strings of one puppet.

Yes but no lol, I was one of those silly kids who shared accounts with people and would inevitably get banned or lose everything, then start again... but hearing you'd put a lisp on for one of your characters has me lol'ing

I don't have multiple personalities for my avatars but I definitely give them to NPCs. I like creating a backstory in my head for the NPCs that give them the appropriate personalities I only use my avatars for outfits (to put on npcs), some alone time, mission plays or if my friends boot me from a space as a joke lol.

It kind of sounds like you just use your different avatars for roleplaying which is fun! I wish the roleplaying aspect of SV was better but I guess with the majority of us being adults, it can seem weird.

One time, someone said it was their sister playing, but it turned out to be them on another computer. It was pretty funny! I think this platform gives people the option to explore personalities and craft who you want to be to the world. This thread also makes me think about how different is someone's avatar personality versus their real life personality. How different people's online persona is from their real life persona. Lots to think about!

I only have time for 1 avatar. I imagine a lot of players are like me and only have time for 1 character.
