Do your toons have personalities to you? Do you think about them as having preferences, likes, dislikes, social abilities and inabilities? How about if you play more than one toon? Does your main seem more capable in life than your alt? Is your tank a surly non-talker while your healer has a softer heart? Have you ever imagined, even idly, what their background might be? Given you spend so much time with them, have you got even a vague sense of their personalities?
Or are they just collections of pixels, loaned to you by a corporation, for the purpose of pretending to kill monsters?

thats where you got me....
while I was doing quests with my forsaken frost death knight, i spent some time rationalizing how a forsaken death knight could not be so evil (as i was saving all sorts of people in northrend and outland) and could have more of a lukewarm serious personality... lol

Mindless grinding makes me realize I do play my different toons as though they were unique personalities. I partially blame it on having played them for 4 years.
Example: My lock is honorable and nice whereas my gnome mage is a terrorizing little bee-yotch who would kill you as much as look at you...then point, laugh, and /dance on your body.

Nah. It's just a video game characters I use to pwn in BG's a couple hours a day, when I'm not out fighting crime or banging my super hot model girlfriend. I'll leave the make believe to you geeks.

My Pally is cute and sassy (fem draenei) but is fearless and brutal when she wants to be. My Lock is a helpless fem fatale (sp) that loves to dance and flirt :)

I do tend to be nicer and more helpful to horde and people that seem slow at learning when Im on my mage
if Im on my rogue, I tend to get more of a jerk and harass horde will bleed dots that wont kil them but still annoy all the same
