My best attempt: Is it true that writers include part of themselves in some of their characters?

Yeah, that was more or less my best guess as well. If so, the answer is sometimes yes. I've given some of the characters a little part of myself, be it some habit, a way of speaking, a hobby, a condition, or something else entirely. Not every character has something of mine, but some have multiple things. I feel that being able to root an aspect of a character in something real like that helps them to feel more genuine. For example, Diego's notoriously potty mouth? You'd better fuckin' believe that came from me!
