Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': Characters playing a video game are shown in-game with avatars resembling their real life selves.
* '''Straight''': Alice & Bob play an MMORPG. Their avatars resemble their physical appearances.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Alice & Bob's screen name is based off their real names, too.
** The only way you can tell when it switches to the game is by the HUD seen in the game.
* '''Downplayed''': Alice and Bob's avatars have a few traits from their real life selves; Bob has a red outfit to match his red shirt, Alice has blonde hair in a different style than her real-life self.
* '''Justified''': Alice & Bob intentionally used the CharacterCustomization system to base their avatars off themselves.
* '''Inverted''': Alice & Bob are digital characters; when they enter the real world, their human selves resemble their digital versions.
* '''Subverted''': After Bob enters the game, a large, burly knight joins him. When Bob asks who it is, [[SamusIsAGirl the knight reveals "him"self to be Alice]].
* '''Double Subverted''': The reveal in "Subverted" happens because Alice removes her helmet, revealing a face resembling her real life self.
* '''Parodied''':
** Alice & Bob play an MMO simulating real life, and so naturally have avatars that look just like them; "It's like I'm actually chatting at the mall!"
** Bob or Alice play a retail game with a protagonist that just so happens to look exactly like them.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Alice & Bob have multiple characters in the game, some of which look a lot like them and others which don't, possibly of a nonhuman race.
* '''Averted''':
** Alice & Bob play an MMO, but don't design their characters off of themselves.
** Alice & Bob are playing a game without customizable avatars; they're represented by the different preset characters they use.
** We don't actually see any gameplay footage, just hear the sounds of gamers playing.
* '''Enforced''': The producers use this to make it clear who's who.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Why do we look like ourselves here, too?"
* '''Invoked''': The BigBad developer uses this [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline to enhance the "Die in the game, die in real life" mood.]]
* '''Exploited''': Cops use the face of an avatar to find a cyber-criminal's real life self.
* '''Defied''': Alice & Bob design their characters to look cool, rather than base off themselves.
* '''Discussed''': "Why'd you design your character after yourself?" "Oh, this is my joke character. My real account is an Orc."
* '''Conversed''': "Funny how the characters don't change much in the game compared to real life..."
* '''Implied''': While we don't see Alice in real life, the fact that she used her real name as her screenname might mean she designed her character off her face.
* '''Deconstructed''': Bob is laughed at by Alice for using himself as the template of his character.
* '''Reconstructed''': Bob designed his character to represent the ideal version of himself, a "cooler" Bob.
