🌺 - How much do you draw on personal experiences when roleplaying?

Honestly? It varies. As a writer, the more I experience, the more I can write about- true- but say for muses like Hetalia ones, I don’t draw on my own experiences much at all because I just don’t think it fits too well. An immortal country vs a mortal with two decades under their belt? Vastly different experiences and I just don’t feel anything could click. Thus it’s reading second hand for stuff like that, and kind of...improving their experiences.
I’m more likely to put my own experiences into my novel or DnD roleplaying. I have a drow wizard who, his occupation leads him into make up and costume-y things. I have a tiefling wizard who has a family who started in a weird way but is supportive and loving, and no matter what she does, they love her, so she goes off and is trying make her way in life. My tiefling rogue is a literal mess and the least pulled fro my life probably, but she probably has parallels.
Like, sometimes it’s nothing like me, but sometimes I pull vague little things because I know about them. You write what you know, right?
