What make you main certain survivor?

Just like title said, as survivor it all just reskin, but i genuinely want to know of what make you main certain survivor?
As for me, i main jake, the reason are quite simple, i play during like myers come to dbd, so 2016? 2015? And i play and main him because he is the only asian charater, since i live in Asian, and that the only reason i main him, for right now? I still main him, and because his lore/description match my personality, like like be alone.

There's really only two considerations:
- Do I enjoy the voice acting? Can I stand to listen to this character scream, cry, and whimper constantly for an entire match? Some characters the answer is absolutely no.
- Is there a particular look, style, or cosmetic that I like for this character?
I'm a Yui main, but also play Cheryl or Zarina depending on what kind of build I'm running.

Do I think they're neat?

Definitely if I can relate to the character.

I think Thalita is a very cool character and I like her cosmetics.

Lisa usually matches my in game persona - I just wanna make sure people are ok and in good health!
Also Rose too as she’s fairly unassuming :)

I empathize a lot with Dweet. Shy, nerdy guy who has been an underdog most of his life. I love that he found his inner strength in the fog and actually rose up to leader status among the survivors.
Aside from that he's got great cosmetics, I love his voice, and he's just an adorable little nerd.

I have "2 mains"
My first main is Vittorio, when i could get him long hair and a metal shirt, i was sure that this would be my main.
My second main is Mr. Cage, and that is only because of hes voice lines, he is really fun. (Devs if you read this, please add more like this in future survivors)

Idk why I started rollin with Meg back in 2017 as she wasnt even my first prestige, hell she wasnt even my 2nd.
I got Bill to P1 in August of 2017 but then my account got reset thanks to a bug, and after that I started playing Nea. Got her to prestige 2, and then somewhere along the line I started playing Meg and she was my first ever P3 all the way back in December 2017
Another fun fact: She was also my first P100, almost exactly 6 years later in December 2023 :)

I dont know. I try other survivors but I just keep coming back to Rebecca. I know she is loud when injured but I keep playing her the most when I play survivor.

I started with Meg back when the game launched because she had the most essential starting perks (Dwight was the worst of the four) and it took forever to level up back then. I stuck with her, only experimenting with other characters until the Silent Hill DLC, at which point I jumped ship to Cheryl and her legendary skins, probably permanently. So what makes me main a certain survivor is that they're from another game. A licensed character is, after all, more than a skin, because they come from something with an actual narrative and dialogues.

Alan Wake will forever be my main as every aspect of the implementation of his character is just great.
The voice acting, the design and likeness, the lore and the music, it's all just peak.

Nothing beats a 4 Bill lemon party.

Sable. I don't know, but she resonated well with me.

I like the characters that have, well character. I won't name them to avoid offending their mains, but there are a number of survs that are awfully basic and clearly popular because they are a conventionally attractive vehicle for cosmetics.
And don't get me wrong, that does matter (and choosing a surv because they are hot is valid) and I'd by lying if I said some of my main survs weren't chosen in part because I like their look, but I like to have a little uniqueness as well. And sometimes it's the look that is part of the uniqueness, but I didn't choose any of them because they were the easiest to look at.
I choose ones I find interesting. My "1a" surv is Haddie. I like her because of her lore, and that she looks like she's been through it. She has some depth and feels like one of she survs most appropriate to the setting.
My other "mains" are Yui, Yun-Jin, and Adam.
And one licensed one, Ash Williams, because I am a massive Evil Dead fan. Being able to play as Ash is what initially got me into DBD (and then I spent almost all of my first 1000 hours as a killer main, lol).

I main David & Felix because they're attractive lol, there's no other good reason for it. David King has always been my main man, bonus points because he's gay and hot-tempered as a character.
Every other Character I might have is only there for the Perks and the Builds I can make for Davey.2 -
Rebecca Chambers, ive played all the resident evils and didn't think much of her before she came to dbd, somehow her announcement for project W got me excited to play as her more than anyone. (Then she had no cosmetics for years lol)
Trevor Belmont wearing Simon Belmonts clothes, because ive also played all the castlevanias start to finnish, and my 2 favorites were Simon Belmont and Shanoa. I'll never forgive them for making them cosplays before adding any legendaries of them like with every other licence.
And before Rebecca was Cybil Bennet legendary on Heather Mason. (You guessed it i also played all the silent hills lol) She was somehow the most attractive character in the series to me and it was a shame she was never playable in the games, so playing as her in dbd was appreciated.

I just main the survivors I like. I'd say my mains are Dwight, Steve and Gabriel. I like the lore for all three characters. I'd also say that my "secondary" mains (characters I really like but I play a bit less than those three) are Cheryl/Lisa/James/Maria (big combo lol) and Alucard. Big fan of Konami licenses I guess.

Jeff main here.
I look similar and I like his cosmetics.

survivors are just skins... I use cheryl because she's from silent hill...

Nice, honest kind of same, i usually main jake park, but when i just wanna have fun or meme, i play steve or ace, steve because screaming steve, and ace because i like to pit blastmine with mirror, and i been palying mirror illusion so much, i like to put them on open space, even it chest or totem, it funny to bait swing times to times

I loved the original Alan Wake, so when he came out, I just had to pick him up. It is also nice that he has a half decent ability to blend in with some environments.
