About the way I play
I'm trying to experience all aspects of the game, so I've made characters for most of the, what I perceive to be, distinct approaches to playing the game. Orison is a career survivor character who has joined up with a group and will do everything he can to restore the suburbs and keep them safe. Jamie is a career zombie character who has joined up with a group and will do everything she can to ruin suburbs and kill everything. Emma is my free-for-all character, doing whatever I need her to be doing at that exact moment, be it playing as an Opportunist, joining a Bash, or PKing with friends. Doug is a career PKer who is busily racking up the kills, though he will never compare to some of the more prolific killers in the city.
In-game, my characters really have no relation to each other, aside from RP back stories that are tied together. I try to keep them all spread out and make an effort not to favor any one character or play style more than any other. Right now, I've made an effort to compartmentalize each character so that they act independently of the others and operate in regions that are far enough apart such that any information they gather is of no use to the others. Also, as I said, each of my characters is being played in a different style, so, if I munch on your brains with my zombie character, and then you later see my survivor, don't kill him on the assumption that he's a zombie spy, because he's not. The same goes for the other characters. I play each of them to their fullest, within their specific style of play.
Despite the fact that I did establish RP back stories for my characters, I do not, in fact, RP much at all. On very rare occasion, I'll go in-character and waste a few AP speaking as they would, but, in general, if you see my characters speaking in the game, it can probably be considered out of character. I'm just too practical and AP is just too precious for me to spend it willy-nilly talking in-character all the time.
A Quick Aside Regarding Fake Characters
"Aichon" is the screenname that I personally go by when I'm representing me, myself in the community, hence why I use it here on the wiki and on the various message boards and chat services I participate in. I do not have a character named as such in the game (the full list of my characters is above, as it has been for years), nor did I suddenly decide to create one after six years of playing the game. So, it [[::File:Aichon zerg.png|surprised me quite a bit]] when I stumbled on this guy in the game in early 2016, right around the time that a known zerger became active again. I don't know if this is the start of a wave of characters that impersonate me, but feel free to deal with him and any subsequent ones however you should choose.
