Writing If your protagonist lived in the real world, what nationality might your protagonist be?

[MC-Stories]

My protagonist is Brazilian with a bit of greek

 

[SRB]

Two are Russians (are you surprised? You really shouldn't be), one is Russian-Russian and the other I imagine as a Kazakh.

One girlie is American. Das it.

[Zagaroth]

Well, all three of them are blends, whether comparing them to canon ancestry or RW groupings/nationalities.

Mordecai appears to be some blend of Mediterranean, including a little bit of Persian. Given that he literally designed his body, this was a choice that was influenced by an on-again, off-again lover (in a time frame of centuries).

Moriko is mostly Asian on her human side, leaning toward Korean (she's also a half-elf)

Kazue appears to be some blend of Celtic and Japanese (red haired/green eyed kitsune). Her father is human, but he has a slightly dark complexion; Kazue's color is almost a duplicate of her mother's.

As for nationality... um, the location of the current story is kind-of sort-of European themed, so probably somewhere in there. Culturally, they don't really match anything perfectly.

My characters are from all around the world. The main one is American, the team is a mix of Italy, Japan, Taiwan, Russia, Ukraine, central Africa, Iraq, Germany, Serbia and Australia,

I mean, as an author, you might draw on real-world references for your character's bacground and physical appearance. What nationality would you use as your protagonist's identity?

Spoiler: My First FMC

My protagonist is based on a French noblewoman from the European Enlightenment.

Spanish.

Which would come as a surprise if any users here follow my story, I'm talking about the male lead here.

The female lead would likely be European descent, half French specifically. I haven't considered what nationality she would be, but her dad is French. She's a cat girl so... cat?

Does reading this thread get this song stuck in their head or it is just me?

 

[LutherinTaralom]

actually my two main characters are bi-racial so They would probably still be Bi-racial in real life.

 

[Seaspecter]

Anna's a mix of every human race on her world so she'd be an American.

 

[Amateur_Artist2008]

Puerto-Rican

 

[A-Random-Writer]

For my private story, the character is Ukrainian

 

[CinnaSloth]

Little sister - Latin-American mix
Archivist Maid - Estonian/ Norwegian area (though, i know nothing of culture it's just how i imagine her)
Ise-se-kai - Asian-American mix

 

[tomotomo]

If we go by the modern world map, then the protagonist of my most recent story is a Ukrainian of Norwegian descent.

 

[MagicBunyip]

My protagonist is Australian.

But he isn't allowed to tell people that because the people in the other world are convinced that Australia existing is a basically a long running annoying prank being orchestrated by modern earthling arrivals.

So on all the paper work someone else helpfully put him down as South African.

 

[VanVeleca]

Well, my characters do live in the "real world" or well a world similar to ours with their own ethnicities and such.
So I'm gonna flip it around to, what if they were fantasy world creatures:

Sieglinde would probably be an elf, just a regular ol' elf. Lucia would be a werewolf. Finally, Ichigo a djinn.
