Is The Way Your Character Seen Correct?

When you attempt to give your roleplaying character a specific personality do other players take it as you want them to see it or not?

Sometimes they do. It depends upon what you are trying to portray. Some things are harder to convey than others. If I really get a character the group usually understands what I'm portraying. Sometimes I create a character that I can't connect with. Those are the ones that I have problems getting the personality across to the group.

I think "Sometimes" is going to be the defining answer here. As Kyr mentions, some concepts are harder to portray than others, even if they connect with the character well.

The medium makes a difference as well, since coming here, I've been forced to realize I rely on body language a lot. On the other hand, I don't have to worry about my voice sounding entirely out of place.

It's not necessarily a bad thing if the other players don't see your character as you intend. That is pretty true to life. A lot of people are seen by others differently than they feel they are. Think of the most annoying people that you know. I guarantee that they don't think they are and probably don't intend to be like that. They wouldn't understand why people would think that. Just a thought.

Fair enough, though such is something I worry about in real life. So I could see the same applying to my characters to an extend, as the thought of my character not being seen correctly is at least a little bit of a concern.

I don't see myself as a good judge of my own character when it comes to how others see me, so perhaps same could be said involving my characters. It may not be a bad thing, but it can be something that I think on at times.

I am not sure if my character is taken in the correct light but since I selfishly play for myself and not for others it is not something I consider as important.
