About

Describe Yourself In 3 Fictional Characters is an online forum game in which participants select fictional characters from popular media that they believe demonstrate various aspects of their personality.

Origin

While similar variations of the game have long been popular online, one of the earliest known instances of the "three fictional characters" variations appeared on October 1st, 2014, when DeviantArt user AshAttempts posted a thread to the site's forums titled "If you had to describe yourself using three fictional characters, who would you choose and why?"[1]

Spread

A thread asking the "three fictional characters" was posted to Reddit on January 10th, 2016.[6] The game started appearing on Twitter in April 2016.
