I have a male gaming buddy whose account is named like tim2299. He names his characters Tim, they're always male and if possible, the toon's facial features resemble his real-life looks.

I don't get it.

Yeah why would someone want to roleplay in an RPG

Isn't the point of role playing playing a role?

Like, you know, actors do?

Some actors star as themselves, too, I suppose.
