1. Is the character named after you?  This includes your real name [first, middle, and last], and ANY online names you have.  If so, stop now.  No exceptions. 1

There is, actually one exception.  Wait!  Before you go back to the test, having decided that you must be the exception, read the rest of this.

The only exception to this question is if the character is really you.  If the character has all your faults - your shyness, your inability to understand algebra, your addiction to lime Kool-aid, whatever - and all your strengths unexaggerated.  If the character has your not overly wonderful but also not overly horrible background.  If the character doesn't instantly make friends with the characters and has a relationship with them that you would be likely to have.  Only then can this question be exempted.
