Do you really Role-Play, or do you Character-Assume?

I don't think it's as simple as that. A lot of people have a default personality or characteristics that repeatedly appear in their characters. But those characteristics aren't necessarily the player's personality. For instance the character might be a fantasy. Or the personality might be appropriate to the way they like to play: curious if they like investigating things, even if the player isn't particularly curious themselves. And nearly all PCs are unreasonably brave.

And, the *complete* sentence was:

"The players would in fact play themsleves, but with the enhanced attributes and talents of the figures which represented the *TFT-version of them*, and not the other way around." - Where the enhanced attributes and talents would allow their alter-ego, played through the figure, to do and exhibit qualities they personally could not, or would not do, in the real-world; like being a much braver version of themselves.
