>>715726176I've got something similar I do with the guy I create in games, except I've slowly aged him up and given him scars and whatnot to show how time has passed. If it's a game where I can pick their skills or what weapons they use, you can see a clear progression based on how their physical strength has waned over the years and how they've adapted.
For a female character, it's pretty much always based on my wife with a few adjustments here and there to make her match the setting. She thinks it's cute and has occasionally dressed up like one of them before. The funny thing is, I had been creating this chick for years before I met her. Tall, leggy blonde with long hair and modest tits. The only thing that changed was altering the face to be closer to hers. The girl will usually be a magic user or utilize weapons befitting her build, though I've sometimes said fuck it and made her a beast in heavy armor with a mace or some other bludgeoning weapon.
