yep. Also i feel like the characters I think less about tend to be the more fun concepts, the more I focus on someone the more it feels forced.

Currently playing a noble barbarian, but actually want to be a Gith zarai from a knightly order dedicated to learning. Having kind of that "doctor interested in the theoretical questions more than normal moral quibbles or practical concerns" vibe.

At least it isn't Comic Sans, or Wingdings.

I generally have ideas for backup characters, but I'm usually too attached to my character's class/race and backstory, that the backups never feel better than what I'm currently playing.

It's not uncommon, but it's also destructive in the way you are using it.
There's a whole "worldbuilding general" thread right now that's filled with people like you, that enjoy creating characters, gods, settings, cultures, and doing fuck all with it, it's basically a lesser form of art.
When you write a story, it's made up shit that other people may like or engage with.
Why you write an OC, it's a made up character that only you enjoy and that people can't engage with.
You are being an autist, with your little OC, and that it's perfectly fine
But you are using your autism in a destructive manner if you get bored with you snowflake OC in favour of the next OC.
You should divert your autism into creating stuff that's not more OCs, but rather a pantheon, a culture, I don't know, some shit that doesn't spoil the game you are in because you are constantly trying to get the next OC fix because you can't do better art than that

have you tried talking to the dm and retiring the character?

Constantly changing characters you say? That's nothing. Most of my RP life has consisted of this.
>Start new campaign.
>Everyone enjoys playing it for a session or two, learns the rules and start to get invested in their characters and plot.
>Random players sees a TV plot, influencer's blog or an advertised edition drop and pesters for a new campaign using what they have seen.
>Player derails your campaign and convinces everyone to start a new campaign based on their idea.
>Start new campaign, cycle continues.

Could try playing a solo game. Get them out of your system by playing all those extra characters you've got. You'll never be able to get through them all in games with other people. Combat (and roleplaying) is also much faster solo.

If you've got any game/setting ideas then it'd be a good time to try them out.

Write them down, come back in two weeks and then decide if they still seem like fun to play

It was making my eye twitch trying to read it. Openly hostile typography.

>>97112609
Comic Sans is at least readable.

>heehee le comic sans bad
Ancient meme legitimately from Reddit. Comic Sans is one of the most legible fonts ever created. Dyslexics can even use it to read with minimal symptoms.

Fun Fact: you can change all the text from your browser to comic sans

There's nothing wrong with playing two characters, it actually should be encouraged.

>>97110200
If you get a stable, longterm playgroup, you learn to pace yourself with character concepts because there’s always another game coming up.

>>97127586
Comic Sans is objectively functional, the problem is that it’s also objectionably overused, typically as a marker of being non-serious.

See if you can talk the DM into making them an NPC like a hireling.
