First of all, this goes in the Role-Playing Lounge.

Second of all, Role Playing is different than fiction. Role-Playing is where many people join into a group, and each play the role of a different character to follow a certain plot. Fiction is a story written by one person. If this isn't enough, you can also search "Role-Playing Game" on Wikipedia.

[Nope]

... Did you read the Wikipedia page?

From Wikipedia
Before play begins, players develop a concept of the role they would like to play in the game. They then use the game system's character creation rules to form a representation of their characters, in terms of game mechanics. The character's statistics are recorded on a special-purpose form called a character sheet.

Well, I dunno, you might have to obtain legal permission from yourself to use in the RP. Don't want to get sued.

^Yay, sarcasm.

Why wouldn't you be able to use yourself? I mean, as long as you make it fit the perameters of the RP, there's no reason not to. In fact, I make a habit of it.
