2-And yeah it actually is based on myself. I wasn't aware it was a bad thing? 1-I do not see at all how "Odin" follows CNR. Say what you want about "rage, inspiration, frenzy", it does not evoke any colors concretely enough. Saying a name fits CNR due to an emotion, is extremely subjective.

And on a sidenote, "Odin Sanchez", regardless of CNR, just sounds outstandingly weird and awkward to both read and say. It's like calling someone "Batman Yuki". It's rather off-putting.

2-Not per se, but unless you're a good writer, it's best to avoid that, since if they're based on yourself, that leads to, unconsciously, an overinflated perception of the character and an attempt to make them "awesome" as a form of escapism, even if you don't realize it.

Which leads to Mary Sues, which are plain bad.
