I though Easter Eggs means something like a hidden treat, a seemingly unimportant object only for the more avid or knowledgeable gamers to check. I'm not exactly familiar with how the concept is portrayed in writing, except that is similar to an incidental allusion or a "forgotten in the background" kind of reference, I'm more familiarized with the easter eggs for games (debug room, music test, things like that).
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGHHHHHHH
Ninjaed during preview!!!! whatever, I'm just going to keep talking.
If it is more closely to an allusion, then no problemo: I always take the time to include one or two hidden references to the Pokémon games, or to current news during the time of my writing, or some other hidden things that require going to the Outside World to grasp. Like, for example, in the first chapter of "
Elusive Goals" I put some references to Fire Red & Leaf Green (Tiksi, TR's infiltration of Silph Co., ... ), my most recent work "
Sixth" has a reference to Esperanto being the universal language used by humans and a partial and more hidden reference to GSC/
HGSSGSDS for those who know where to look. Oh, and a movie and meme allusion. Hax, even my Final Fantasy fics have one or two hidden references per chapter...
But since no one reviews me unless I poke'em (
sorry, personal rant) I have no way to know if anyone did get those references...
Going by the definitoin you're getting, Feign, there are several examples of Easter Eggs (or something similar) on TV, but most of them are kinda mixed with product placement.
Going closer to the concept of allusion I'd guess the closest thing to a game-like Easter Egg would be a scene that is later revealed, or known before, to have been shot only once, or with no extras, which is what is called an "ad-libed take" I think. Or having two characters who are family and their corresponding actors are too. Or having crew members veiledly appear or be referenced during the show, like a scene of "24" where a Fed puts up pictures of a suspect and it is the producer of the show. You know, things like that...
Another kind of allusion is the "actually the real world" approach, like in the very first episode of
NCIS that gives us the Air Force One and a President of the United States who is
very obviously Bushy-Boy (yes, filmed circa 4 BO ~Before Obama~). But that is less EasterEgg-like and more please-the-general-audience stuff.
Oh whatever. Changing subject...
When creating your main character, what part of that character (might) resemble you the most? (looks, personality, life experience etc)
Their quirks and skills, their personality, mostly.
There's not much to do when it comes to "life experience" because it is something that should greatly vary between our world and the Pokémon world. Skills, on the other hand, allow me to better interact with the character and understand how does he want to do stuff.
As of personality, it is something that somehow ends up imprinted on my characters anyways so I don't worry too much about that, as long as it's just some basic similarity and not a copy-paste of my psyche (which is not a good thing to paste).
Now I should really go sleep.
It's not like I'm going to suddenly sit down and start working on my thesis anyways...
