What kind of character do/would you most likely play in a tabletop setting? How about video games, whether alone or online? If they differ, any particular reason why?

i don't usually play tabletop games so i can't tell. but i like purple. especially #a680bb. if a videogame allows me to pick accent/clothing color on my character then i'll make sure she has a lot of #a680bb on her.
when i still played pso2 my character was short with lots of black/purple elements. if a game has a character editor then that's what i'll go for.
if you mean stats/class then i always pick whatever gives me the most attack, i won't get hit so i don't need defense

in tabletop, it kinda depends on the game. i usually like to play something rogue-ish or so. in video games, its more or less the same. and if i can pick, i usually pick a cute girl

I tend to like to play druids/rangers/healers/magic users in that order-ish if we're talking "traditional" fantasy setting. I haven't played much ttrpg sci-fi but I guess like a science or medical officer is my preferred job there.

as far as like lore goes, I like playing characters that are shy/introverted, kind of skittish/lone-wolf types, perfectly happy being solitary but will become swayed by the party's cause and join them. usually like an orphan or kid growing up alone in the woods/on the edge of society...that sort of thing >w<

in tabletop fantasy settings i have entirely played magic users, and im sure if i played a cyberpunk setting i would play a hacker of some sort.

in video games, mostly the same, though i sometimes dip into non-magic-using but glass-cannony types of characters.

i guess i like the vibe of being a glass cannon -- it's fun to annihilate people without taking much damage

Well in video games I usually gravitate towards something that does a lot of damage very quickly, even if it means being a glass cannon, so I would probably choose something similar in a tabletop setting. But I haven't played any sort of tabletop game with classes before. I have played the Space Hulk board game, though, and prefer the Space Marines :3

different character every time. games give me the option of experiencing all kinds of lifes that real life doesn't, so i'm gonna use that to the fullest

I prefer to pick support/healers … I love playing as creatures or pretty girls! My go—to Vainglory characters were always Flicker & Alpha

Tabletop setting... I dunno, myself? Unless I guess I'm playing a RPG like D&D? Shrug.

What kind? I'm not sure what you mean specifically, but I virtually always pick healers.
