Do you, and people will make the connections if you're able to fit the criteria.
As far as what others would say about your toon, absolutely. But, when someone creates a toon and they're trying to figure out what personality they'll have, it's pretty normal for the player to have an "intended" portrayal. Whether or not they're capable of succeeding at that portrayal based on their own personality as a player is the question at hand.
Yes, and I'm saying that's an easy mistake to make. There's plenty of people who have things like "This person can stare down and terrify even the most hardened so-and-so" and that sort of mentality arranges expectations. If you decide that your character is quick with a joke in tense situations, you had better be able to deliver on it.
There's a level of self-awareness that requires, though, which is why it's so simple to trip up. Wanting to play a witty, sly character when you don't have a slippery bone in your body is stacking the deck against you.
