Read on ›Roleplaying has an amazing use in real life. Usually a role mirrors our desire, our true identity but sometimes it's also just one side of this identity. You may think this is not true because you often played a role that has nothing to do with your true self ... well, the way you played it and the reason you picked that role is because something in you needed to come out. A role can start as part of you or you can discover on the way that its part of your personality. This is valid if we are not talking about senseless accounts such as testtest, I am talking about the players that really play a role here.
Because of this nature of a role, it usually happens you gain more confidence in yourself and develops that part of your personality that you have selected for that role you play in the game. A 13-year-old boy who plays a mighty warrior role will develop his courage and his personality in that way and some day he will see changes in the way he acts in real life too. We NEED role-playing, role-playing is for personality what dreams are for the brain sanity. I will tell you about my personal experience with a role, but I am sure each one of you will have experienced something similar in your own way.
It’s no longer a secret that I play both Knator Commander and Muratus del Mur. At first there were multiple people controlling Knator but in time I totally fell in love with that profile and started to shape it according to what role I wanted to play. Knator is a strong diplomat, a powerful creature that demands respect and fear; he is huge, has a feeling of supremacy over the humans and is often unpredictable. In real life, I am far from being a huge person with extreme physical force. I love the Knaty role, when I play Knaty I AM Knaty, I have nothing to do with Mur, Manu, or other characters, I even go so far that I send myself pm's from one account to the other :)) (useful to keep track of things). Knator is a very important military figure in the game; he represents the power of Loreroot and its official voice, the closest one to the Loreroot high command.
I discovered something amazing, I can "switch accounts" in real life too! I had a meeting with some people, business related, and things were not going the way I wanted them to... so at that moment my mindset changed to Knaty, i don’t know how I could actually do this, but I guess there should be something to cancel the "failsafe" of our brain to allow you actually play a fictive role in real life. Actors have it, spies also, and depending on profession others do too. The confidence and power i have as Knaty took over. I was actually playing Knator Commander in a business meeting against real people ... and it worked! Of course I did not pull my blade out to cut them for being rude to me, but I did act and felt as if I was indeed Knaty and they some miserable tiny humans. I managed to get their respect, I did not allow them to say differently then I wanted, and in a matter of minutes I had everything under control as I wanted. That was absolutely amazing. I remembered the feeling so I can use it on other occasions and i am sure it will help a lot.
Any of you played assassins creed or a shooter? well after playing countless hours such a game I walked down the street and at each corner I carefully inspected people passing by, as if they have grenades or asking myself how I could kill them without the others to noticing :))) That's wild, but it happens when you get too deep in such a game/role.

I tried playing a realty evil and mean character in past in one of the rpgs (forum based) and somehow I couldn't "convince" myself that "I" am this character. The whole thing resulted to that specific character being something only half done and nobody could believe it is ultimate evil. I am unable to play completely good characters also and I came to realization that I can not do that because I, as a person (not a char) am not ultimate evil nor am I a personification of good. In our role-playings definitely is a part of us, may it be a part that we are aware of or parts that we don't have knowledge of... yet.
As for you "using" the strengths and abilities of character that you play... well, I am glad that I am not the only one doing that irl.
Cheers!
