impersonaday 02: what comes first, the character or the pb?
The kind of games I usually join don't have mandatory PBs, so by default it is the character first. There are some chars I have that I KNOW I will never find a PB for - Deon, for example. I'd be shocked to high hell if I ever found anybody (real) who actually resembles how he looks in my head (Pixie's calendar art is the dead closest to what is actually in my head). Kaz, I had a few potential PBs for him but nobody who ever looked perfect.
In games that do use PBs, the pb-finding process happens about midway through, after I've figured out what character I want and what their general traits are. Amrit kind of got away from me though - I was originally looking for potential Endymion PBs, not Osiris PBs, but one look at Allu Arjun on Hollow Art and I had to use him. He just had such a fun look to him, unlike a lot of the other PBs I had been looking at.
