No alter egos, but I did invent this guy named Derek who I say I'm hanging out with when I want some time to myself.

Yep, at school sometimes I become former Latvian criminal, Igor Barkov "number one member of evil society known only as "The Evil Society". Because I can do a rather good Latvian accent, it's a funny joke that me and my friends have kept. :D

I have four. The real me is not included in that figure.

1. Fae Rainstar, Female, cheery, friendly, playful.
2. Abbadon, Male, generally a jerk, keeps to himself most of the time.
3. Doombringer, Male, idiot, but deadly serious in extreme cases.
4. The Fell, Male, like Doombringer, but more stupid.

And then there is the real me.

The closest things to alter egos I have are my original trainer Lisa. and when I play through one of the Pokemon games I tend to lose myself in them and become my character in the game.

...Sort of? My first original character had a personality I based on my own: apathetic, overly playful, and very withdrawn when it comes to confrontation and heavy subjects. I loosely based her story around mine too, i.e. she has a half-sibling while I have two. I gave her a daughter who serves as my complete opposite as well, so I guess she counts as my true "alter ego."

Wait... you mean, you actually consciously create alter egos of your own will? Is that even an alter ego then?
Depends on the person. For me, whenever I use a username I have never used before, it develops into its own personality after about a month, and then I act like that whenever I use that name any time in the future.

And at the moment I am attempting the arduous task of actually changing the personality of one of my names.

More of a symbol than an alter ego, a small raven named "Raven" is found littered all over the place.

More often than not, my characters are an interpretation of my own personal self, not made up characters influencing that personal self.

I wouldn't call her an alter ego anymore, per se, but I have this character named Marie that takes over everything. Even now she's kind of a go-to character when I do stick figures and silly things. I think what stands out even now is that she has a huge ego, and it's so over-the-top that it amuses me. Way back in my high school days, she was probably more of an alter ego; I would act out things she'd do over MSN sometimes, iirc. These days, though, I keep a wide space between me and my characters. I am me, and I want people to see me outside my writing, not some people I made up.

Even though Marie isn't around in my writing much anymore, she'll always hold a special place in my heart. :'D<3 (Oddly enough, when she does show up, it's as an alter ego to a main character. Hm.)

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

Admit-tingly, I find that quite interesting, I might have something similar in a way, but I don't necessarily change myself exactly, like act differently. I have used a few alter-ego's in the past, but that's kind of behind me for now, as for now I just go by Fernando usually around everywhere, however Fuyuhiko is my current username and I like it more than Fernando at times.

Interesting.
I'm an amateur writer so in a way, my characters are my own Alter Ego's and they all have their own personalities, dislikes and so on. In my novel I am currently writing (in blog below) I have Dante, inspired by Light Yagami from Death Note, Iago from Othello and a bit of myself thrown in.

I actually bear two 'alter egos'
One is male, and he's quite stubborn, protective, loyal and generally quiet. He reigns supreme when there is something I must face. He is for all intents and purposes, my stronger side.

The next one is Female, she's very hyper, happy-go-lucky, silly, cute, friendly, and generally quite nice and loving of everyone. She literally loves everyone without limits. The problem is that she's intensely shy, irregardless of how she might act. You really don't get to see this side of me too often...more often than not you interact with either my true self or my Male Alter. Naturally, she is the reason I do end up being more feminine sometimes.

Finally lies my core. My true self. I'm a shy and nice guy, extremely loyal person to my friends. The ego that is writing this post is none other than the True Self.

In differing situations, to different people and such, you may see my different egos. You can usually befriend one and get on my good side...but there are some people who have managed to piss us all off. We act in syncro. Switches are seamless, and are fairly decided based upon who is most comfortable with the situation at hand.

Of course...no one ego of mine is more experienced than the other...after all, we share the same exact pool of memories and experiences.

I don't have an actual alter ego.
As for creating a different persona and acting like someone else, I've done so online in the past just for trolling, because it was fun. I've had about three different "troll characters." As for creating a persona and taking it seriously? I don't do that.

Well one time when I was in France there was a person working in a shop who looked like me so I said she must be my French alter ego. I didn't create her though she was already alive when I got there.

I have about 10000000000 of them. No kidding. My most famous is probably "Britney amaica" who is an 18 year old girl who is from California whose main goal is to harass people. I use that with crank calls. It's actually pretty hilarious to see their reaction.
