Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - Hunter Payne - 06-15-2013
I picked Eddie Guerrero because he is awesome. And he's the most known wrestler that I kind of look like. What about you?
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - Crimson Cobra - 06-15-2013
Paul London was the original pic base because i wanted a high flyer and jeff hardy my favorite high flyer was currently in use and i couldn't really think of another one that i liked it was kind of a quick spur of the moment kinda thing if i woulda thought about it I would have picked Evan Bourn. But then Cobra Commander beacuse Crimson Cobra gets burnt alive and dosn't want to show his hideous skin anylonger
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - Andrew Morrison - 06-15-2013

Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - Steve "KingSlayer" Davids - 06-16-2013
Tyler Reks seemed more original than most, plus he's the character that most looks like how I picture Steve Davids.
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - Satoshi Daiki - 06-16-2013
Kenta Kobashi because he is one of the most entertaining wrestler I've ever had the privilege of watching.
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - John Austin - 06-16-2013
First was some random skater I found on Google but I wanted someone that kinda fit the bill of crazy, cult leader, just plain out nutcase and Jimmy Jacobs is the best to go about it.

stevedavids pic base reminds me of FAMINE OF THE VILE.. just saying
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - Steve "KingSlayer" Davids - 06-16-2013
Well Peter Gilmour's pic base reminds me of a guy who lost to the Famine of the vile - Just sayin'

Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - MattWard - 06-29-2013
I chose cena because he was close to myself at the time i started roleplaying in 03, i started writing music and free style rapping so it fit to my personality and over time i evolved my character with sometimes changing faces if i needed to.
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - AlexandraCallaway - 06-30-2013
I chose Lita because other than Katie lea, she best fit my character.
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - Christine Nash - 06-30-2013
I choose Maria for one cause She is one of my favorites and two cause she really fits the character. She looks a little like Lita who is the character's mother so it was a perfect fit. Never used anyone else for Christine.
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - Lightning - 07-11-2013
I picked Jeff mainly because I've always been a fan of the Hardy Boyz. Plus I feel he has the type or personality that you can alter to tailor to your style. I take parts of his character and use some of my own style and try to mesh them the best I can. It's still a work in progress, but more then doable.
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - Alex Shawn - 07-11-2013
My first Pic base was actually Justin Harvey the Green arrow from Smallville because he looked like how I pictured him. Than I was watching Arrow and I decided to make Stephen Amell Alex Shawn's Pic Base because He actually has the personality the I had planned for Alex Shawn and his Character Oliver Queen who is pretty bad ass is more like Alex Shawn's more serious side sometimes and I thought Having Him as a pic base. My original Pic base was going to be Christian than I was looking through pictures and found Justin Harvey.
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - Neonero - 07-12-2013
Nero's main picbase is JYP, who's one of the nicest guys alive, so it really seemed like a fun challenge making him seem sinister. The masked half is Daesung from BIGBANG, to be honest, like Satty, that was more of a case of seeing the look and knowing it fit. I was always planning to do a masked side and it just appeared.
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - SokolovxxRed - 08-16-2013
Hmm, to tell you the truth, Sokolov is based off a friend of mine and he looks like Andrei Arlovski. So I went with him plus he is one of my fave MMA fighters so there is that as well.
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - Angelus - 08-16-2013
Normally I use a wrestler as a pic base, but this go around I decided to just use myself as my own pic base. It's pretty easy since I just google myself and use the pictures off there. Btw, how sweet was my mullet in Time Cop?
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - Mystica - 08-17-2013
I needed an awkward looking young British man. I've never seen Les Miserables. I literally googled "young male British celebs." And thus, Eddie Redmayne.
Lame story but...hey.
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - LJ Havok - 08-20-2013
I don't know I've never really thought about it until now.. I think it is because I'm a huge Punk fan. And my character is kind of loosely based around me as a person and I thought Punk was a good fit. The punk rock attitude. Ya cant hate on that. Though there is one big difference between CM Punk and LJ Havok...That my friends is drugs. lots and lots of drugs..still wont touch it if its not natural tho
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - The Lionheart - 08-21-2013
Harrison's has three main pic bases:
1. Chris Jericho. He is one of my favourite wrestlers, and when I first started roleplaying I based my character initially on him (this was back in 2007).
2. Christian Cage. As I made my character 'more original', I decided I wanted someone with short blonde hair and a short beard, who was about six foot and two hundred and twenty pounds - Cage fit the bill. I also liked the look of him and he fit my picture of Harrison to a tee.
3. Josh Holloway. Eventually I transitioned Harrison to the millionaire play boy living in Malibu, CA, I felt that Holloway's surfer play boy look on Lost was the perfect image for him. Holloway also looks bad ass enough to pull off an arrogant, egotistical side that is Harrison all over.
I have tried experimenting with Harrison's pic base, but of all of them I find Holloway to be the best fit.

Doesn't stop me from hearing Eddie Redmayne's singing voice every time there's dialogue in your RPs.

Originally, Micah's face was Kaitlyn but when I joined one fed where I really didn't have a choice but to change her face...I went with Eve Torres. At the time, she seemed to fit Micah but then a guy that I was writing with...came up with the idea of Sammi Doll.
I wasn't too sure because she looked gentle compared to how I was portraying her but then I realized...the more I looked at Sammi...that she was who I was picturing for Micah.
The tattoos, the ever changing hair color, her small frame that held so much power...Ever since then, I've kept Sammi Doll and really haven't felt any reason to change Micah's face...Mainly because I don't think there is another female out there who could carry Micah's heavy past and still look so damn sexy.

Christian's awesome.
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - John Austin - 09-05-2013
I originally had Jimmy Jacobs and was never planing on switching him until someone signed up as Jimmy Jacobs. So being the nice guy I am, I decided to switch to give this guy a chance. However he posted a contract and stopped showing up after, so yeh
Now for Cliff Compton, two reasons, I find Cliff to be a great representation for myself. Most don't know that Austin is basically just a take off of myself with the nob turned to eleven. So who better to represent me than Mr. 1859 himself
and reason two...cause it's Cliff fucking Compton, what's not to like about him

a bit off topic, but if you have never seen "Red Eye" consider it. That's a really good one with him in it.. so simple but so masterful
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - Rain - 09-08-2013
Ok... originally... back around 2002 or so, when I first created raYne... his pic base was David Bowie. Specifically, his character 'Jareth' from Jim Henson's Labyrinth --
![[Image: 404856252_jareth20sphere_xlarge.png]](http://images.sodahead.com/polls/002761131/404856252_jareth20sphere_xlarge.png)
Back then, I was just discovering myself, and raYne was who I wished to be... open, daring, unafraid of the world's hatred... and honestly, I'm still working toward that. But I'm much closer than I was back then, to making it a reality. raYne was originally very elegant... he wore fancy clothes, lavish night gowns, and he was very seductive... and he still retains a lot of that.
But, when I decided to bring him back, I had this idea... to have him undergo a transformation... this "punker", edgy, hip, modern re-invisioning... an 'upgrade' of sorts. THiS... is the pic I made when I first realized I HAD to bring back raYne --
![[Image: 8b80b82a-4000-4c1a-8889-b943f69de31e_zps6e33439f.jpg]](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y127/shanomacbry/8b80b82a-4000-4c1a-8889-b943f69de31e_zps6e33439f.jpg)
Yes. Jeff Hardy. But... then I realized Lightning already uses Jeff as a pic base. So, that's why I went with me, in addition to the fact that I wanted to record video promos, and because I base the character heavily on myself... There is a common twine between Jeff and Jareth/Bowie, in why I chose them as my pic bases...
... they, along with U2's Bono, were my first male celeb crushes. So it only seemed fitting that they represent the character who has led me to be who iAm today. Openly bi and androgynous... and proud.
raYne was originally purely homosexual, with no if's, and's or but's about it... but this new recreation... he truly is closer to me. As he's bi, androgynous, as well as straight edge. The old raYne loved to drink raspberry schnapp's, and his alter-ego, the dark 'Reeve', enjoyed smoking. But to add to the reality of the character... I ditched that. Many here, such as Archie, claim that my using me as my character... is a bad thing.
But I Believe... it's a good thing. Taking a cue from DDP...
... you see, thinking about what some said in response to my video promo... this IS my reality. So even in cutting those video promos... it fleshes out the character. It gives him more depth. And a different level.
I'm about to get some more rest... but when I awaken, I'm going to work on a roleplay. My greatest work here yet... so I certainly need some sleep.
But I hope you all enjoyed this little taste of the development of the Storm.
Love you all, my darlingz. <3

Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - Mr. Radio - 09-26-2013
Well I feel like commenting so the reason why I picked Shannon Leto was because Radio was originally Satty's fake brother and his pic base was Jared Leto at the time.

Including me. Bit of a man-crush on that titanium-plated face.
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - Walter "Waldo" Wilcox - 09-27-2013
Thought it'd be funny to have the Waldo character, and it was either Jim Carey or Jeff Daniels from Dumb and Dumber.. or Edward Norton.. mostly from Death to Smoochy and since Norton is one of my favorite actors.. wah-la. Though, Dumb and Dumber is one of my favorite movies.
Why did you choose the pic base/wrestler you did? - Barney Green - 09-27-2013
