When creating your ocs, do you ever give them traits that you yourself have? I.e. same taste in music or maybe they have the same habits as you

Skwkfnwnnf extremely guilty of this, although due to story reasons they do tend to deviate eventually. Morality and values are the most consistent

Definitely yes!!!

I live vicariously through Elio, so I would naturally give him most of my strengths while letting him realize certain dreams that I know I can't fully achieve in real life (i.e. being wealthy, fit, talented, heathenistic, charismatic, more physically-capable and socially-flexible, etc.).

For example, his design-filled black aesthetics and love of Lo-Fi Hip-Hop come from me.
