I personally draw my influence for my characters from my favorite pieces of fiction mostly. Gaspard being in the vein of the Sherlock/Hannibal degree of sociopathy. Well functioning with pitfalls he wouldn't bat an eyelash about.
When it comes to myself, I find sometimes bits and pieces of myself in my characters, which inevitably come through (Such as my general flare for Anti-hero/Antagonist stories), but other then that, I do not draw from my own life.
On one side, it will create a very distinct character, because you can't 'get more real' then playing yourself in a virtual reality, on the other hand, it also invites that nasty parallel of my emotions = my characters emotions.
That being said, yeah. It's mostly dark, nasty fiction for me that inspires/used to inspire me. And good Videogame Antagonists.
