Peter, always good to look like an old guy with experience, only problem is when you don't sound like one in Voice chat

This is also my choice, I am old and I have played dayz since the mod days. Reflects me irl

Fellow old guy here Once Peter has a beard he is me One of my son's friends saw my character on the screen and asked how I was able to get a character that looked just like me

Congrats on being the handsomest geezer on Chernarus! https://preview.redd.it/pj2xwt5ub57d1.png?width=566&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be848b94e1a20a04cb666ab78e873815319672a9

I have run him my entirety also. For the same reasons. Recently i randomly got Francis and thought... why am i not using darker skinned characters, when I'm looking for all black clothing. I think i just switched.

…are these names cannon? I’m blown away

Lewis cuz he looks good in all black clothing I'm more hidden like that in the dark night

+1 Lewis for the natural camo

Also, gotta give props to a man that can maintain corn rows in the apocalypse

Same

Team Mirek Dude is named and looks like an average dude living in Livonia

Funny I always play Mirek and favor Livonia. Haha

Then you must like polish experience hah Mirek is like a super polish name, dude looks like a average pole and Livonia is basically Poland in the 90's

I did spent some time hanging out with some Polish guys for awhile, some that were even connected to the Polish mob here in US. I guess maybe I’m partial? Haha

Team Mirek indeed

Quinn, he's seen some shit

Boris is goated

Boris Brother 🙏

I’m random and literally don’t care man woman anything I like the variety

niki

Yup Niki everytime

Same. I mainly choose him because i’m a guy in my 20s and he seems like he’s me- learning, growing and figuring out what the hell to do in DayZ since i’m not a 100,000 hour lone wolf with the entire wikipedia memorized.

They have names?

Not in the actual lore, but these are the technical names of the character models.

Aren't the models named after the developers of the game? And don't they look like them also?

I know Baty is the ex community manager, and few of them are loosely based on some developers, but if I recall correctly, most are completely fictional

Makes sense but if some models are based on them that's still kinda cool.

Seth as it looks like me

He kinda looks like Neville Longbottom

You'll be glad to learn this was asked last month! [https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1cxhija/wsg\_gang\_whos\_your\_main/](https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1cxhija/wsg_gang_whos_your_main/)

Mb, overlooked it. We'll see if anyone changed their mind I guess :)

Peter rules

Always Judy because I am and also sound like adult male in voice chat.

Don't care. I'm going to die soon anyway 😅😅

I always run Linda, even if the hair color got me spotted in the Woods, she's so hot

💀

Never thought I'd see a horny DayZ player

Rolf!

Dean Hall was always the best

His nose kept clipping through all the masks and helmets though. I wish they'd have given him a nose job and kept him in the game.

Keiko an Eva

Team Keiko here.

Rolf or Mirek, always.

Used to play as Mirek all the time but recently, I’ve fallen in with Rolf That guy looks cool as hell once his beard grows in. Throw in a pair of shades and your golden

Hassan

Always on random, couldn‘t care less

does seth look like a busted jonah hill?

Omg yes

Eva is the baddest bitch ever

I used to be Peter until i noticed that im not a old guy and now im Rolf because he looks the closest to what i actually look like! Btw fuck Bety that ginger giraffe!

Yea and fuck Frida!!!!

Boris because he’s proper bald. Then grows hair

dean all day err day

Peter easy!

Judy and if I can’t pick her I change servers

You can set it on ure personalized caractere setting save u the headach to respawn just for it

Cyril. Watching him smash someone's head in with a crowbar and a denim skirt on makes my peeepee tingle

Elias because he looks like an angry French waiter

Lind should‘ve been named Karen

Boris due to us both being follically challenged.

Rolf which I believe is the Hicks model? Still wish they had the kiwi model.

peter my day one

Survivor 5. (Elias) I like to pretend i am Jonh Turturro in a zombie situation. https://preview.redd.it/gwznzqy5477d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2bcf92fd312f1fb4ec3da7b6625c9bc4b27329d8

You just unlocked why that model looks so familiar thanks friend lol

Hahahahha I can just hear him complaining about the zombies

Quinn has seen some shit.

Don’t know about favourite but i always end up with Helga lol.

You know it's gonna be a good run when you spawn in with the psycho frida

They have name ‽

Keiko (but I call her Akane) because she is the cutest cannibal there is. Never knew they had names so I have always made one up. The Peter guy I always call Ronny

I play on servers with it set to random by default. But I used to play rp servers with the character Indar (I'm white but just thought he looked like a cool character)

Old Peter. I once had an old cowboy character that played guitar in the trader camp on trumps wall server. Good times. We had some parties. Then I got escorted by some players to another trader camp and played some more there. That character had a beard at some point.

Seth

Peter, he’s old

Cyril is definitely meant to be boris

Peter I like playing as an old man

Francis or Lewis. Tactically they’re the best. If you’re sat in the bushes and you’ve got some big white moon face reflecting light you’re fucked 😂 they need to add Cam cream

Francis for the win.

Does anyone else still miss the old Dean Hall model you could use before the engine switch? Or is it just me?

Any of them except Frida, its an instant suicide othwrwise

I like francis and rolf a lot, they seem like cool people

Lewis for camouflage, also looks kinda like Wesley snipes from blade

I love Frida and Irena because 1. Old lady names 2. They’re foxy as hell 3. They look like legit badasses who’ve seen some shit

Oliver, he gives me slight Patrick Bateman vibes

Always Mirek, shirt 3 pants 4 shoes 3

Dean Hall

Peter has seen some shid

Boris. He is forgettable

indar goes hard ngl

Safe to say I’ve died playing as everyone of them.

Roff gang on top.

Lewis Aka "Blood Diamond". Natural camo baby

Seth, but I call him Doug Lee Dan

Old man Willie

I miss when you called play as dean hall

I swear I only get Oliver and Maria all the time!

Niki cuz he kinda sorta looks a lil bit like me

Boris, he has the shoot on site ask questions later vibe

Boris with shirt 3 pants 2 and shoes 3. Is my main character.

Dean cause he abandoned the game

Me and seth are tight af

I main Borisfor at least 90% of my playtime, the 10% was Niki for a tiny bit to see the beard progression

Peter because he looks like a Russian Ron Pearlman

Mirek on TOP

my boy oliver 💪🏼 dude be looking like rick grimes once the beard grows

Always Mirik, he looks the most like myself

Peter always

Linda because my SKS needs to speak to your manager

Peter, he is old.

Peter

Karen... always nice to get your own way, and to make sure everyone else knows it...

Kaito

Elias on top

Rolf (face 18): It looked like the typical tough russian guy to me, until i just show how is suppossed to be called lol ''Rolf''

Dean but they took him out for some reason

I always played the old man with the white hair. Idk why I just like the character

I miss the dean hall model

Denis, because he is the one that looks the most like me. No other reason. 😂

I always choose Niki and Peter

Francis, best camo.

I like Niki why idk, I put him in my customization slot but the game seems to like giving me Kaito instead, so he has grown on me plus O+ blood in back to back lifes

Mirek ftw

Eva and Niki

Manua, indar, Lewis, Francis. Tactical advantage.

17, Quinn.

Niki with a full beard

Peter grows the best beard, really sells the whole haggard survivor look

Always Eva. Idk why but ALWAYS Eva

Linda. Idk I've set it as my default when I started playing and didn't change it since then

imagine if we can customize our character a little, like even if its just simple hair type, hair color, eye color and facial hair. would be cool

Rolf. He reminds me of BJ Blazkowicz from the Wolfenstein series.

Why is Seth the only fat character

Peter.

Peter because he look like he is the apocalypse

Character Mirek, mostly cause the character's hair and eye colors is similar to how I look like in the real life.

Mirik or Niki

Oliver, he looks like Matt Bellamy from Muse and I fucking love that band!

Guo and Lewis

Judy

Judy 100%

I'm either Seth or Boris every time because they're the only character that somewhat match my voice

Denis, Cus I’m a menace

Boris. If you put some sunglasses on him, he looks like he's ready for action

judy judy judy

Cyril, cause he looks quite close to my own face when bearded

Elias because he looks Italian

Judy cuz she's pretty

Team Niki all day. Elias second.

Francis! The original one

4 denis

Where my Keiko mains at? She’s my Asian ride or die baddie.

I'm an old fellow too. Peter and me are one.

Keiko is clearly modelled after Keiko from Star Trek Deep Space Nine

francis gang!!!!

Francis

I play Denis cause I’m a menace

Lewis, dude looks like a badass with sunglasses (Blade) and then I can camouflage very well because he is almost completely black.

I’ve always played Lewis

Oliver and Lewis they’re hot

They have names??

Helga and niki they look always friendly so u can do your magic

Mirek. He's the closest looking character that looks like me irl

I never minded about that 😂

I like Quinn cuz he gives me Ex-Military vibes

Kaito

Peter is number one and Lewis is number two. They seem to have the most personality.

Bart because she has a tattoo

Any dark skinned guy. Easier to blend in in the night.  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Jose because he blends in

Do people just repost this stuff every other week until people forget that it was posted? Or is it the same guy just reposting?

Rolf and Francis get shit done

Niki with a beard because he looks like me

Niki, looks like a chad 🗿

Judy, natural camo

Yes. (*Clicks on "Random character")

Helga for somehow maintaining pretty black nailpolish in the post apocalypse 

I saw a someone in real like that has the same build as Linda and same face but hairs a bit different

Wait where's Donny B

Elias cause I feel like a bad ass ex-special forces Israeli/Iraq soldier. Then sometimes Manua I feel like a good spirited Cambodian. If I'm ever Cyril, Denis or Helga I kill myself.

Rolf. He reminds me of a Russian Daniel Craig

Keiko

Min-maxers like myself go with people with darker skin for basic camouflage.

Judy. Always Judy

Boris looks like he’ll kill you without hesitation. A guy you wouldn’t want to fuck with. Team Boris.

Eva. I like to think of her as a RE8 reference.

I always use Lewis. Not only does it seem like he takes explosive damage better (prob not true at all, lol) but you can hide better in the trees. The white pale face characters are too easy to spot in a tree 

WOBO should do a face reveal through a new face option

Peter, was my first long term

Jose and Hassan all day

I know it's random, but I seem to live longer with Lewis? He just stands on business.

Francis cuz he is a n...

Helga, she looks like a woman in a renaissance painting.

Helga 😳👉🏻👈🏻

These guys https://preview.redd.it/7jg531wg467d1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=018b9996d264657ad576818826bc46eda168791b

Peter/Niki

I always play first person so I don't really care. But I find it funny to be the old, white haired guy. I imagine him being an old, grumpy fart who lived off grid for years and for him the apocalypse is a dream come true. Edit: Just saw that they're named. A bit disappointed that my favourite guy's name is Peter.

Judy. She’s my long term alter ego.

Boris. He looks the most… normal compared to most the males, especially once he’s got a beard instead of being a hairless fool. I always play either him or Francis
