Male vs. Female Characters

[shusuke]

Most of my characters are male. I just never go on.

People on here scare me, anyway.

Lol. I like the wolf in your signature, btw. Did you make it? It's awesome.

Thanks. I did make it. Still has plenty of things to be completed though.

I don't know about characters, seems pretty equal, but in terms of real life gender looks like most people are actually females, and that goes for this whole 'culture', for a lack of better word, I mean like us, animal-liking group that likes to draw wolves and big cats and like Lion King and play games like these and RP animals, are into 'scene-wolves' etc. are more female than male, this is coming from a male btw. A lot of times I couldn't even find any real males at all in WQ and IT, all the males were actually female.

lol! i'm a guy. o,o all my characters (obviously) are male. :DD

Does that mean there is a higher percentage of females interested in the game or is a female character more connectable to Role Play audiences???

I'm a girl and half of my characters are male...Personally I tend to lean toward the male plight in an RP.
1. Guys fighting is more respected among Role Players because they expect a male to be a tougher opponent.
2. Males tend to have have less romantic interest built into plot lines- Yuck! Creepy!!!!!
3. Female characters are more acclimated to chatty or supporting roles in an RP.
4. Strong female characters are assumed to be hard and feminist (in an overbearing way) and I don't want to go there with it either.

     These rules can be broken, but from what I've seen, female characters tend to be portrayed in the above patterns in many Rp's that I've played in. Such portrayal is similar to what I've seen in the media, especially Tv and movies. Which makes sense because, Many players draw experience for their characters from the media, (note the many Kovu's running around). I like well balanced characters and they tend to be more easy to portray in a male. Also I have fun RPing a male character.... ^_^
                                              !!!PLEASE DON'T THINK I'M A FEMINIST OR WHATEVER!!! *Dies*

1.) Yeah. I've seen many RPs where males tend to fight more often then females (and some where female-fighting is banned altogether)
2.) Heheheheh...
3.) Well yeah, the girls do all teh talkin' xD
4.) Most of the strong females I meet tend to be sort of...loner-ish. BUT if you meant strong as in having power over a pride/pack/clan/whatevar, the ones I meet in RP are always polite and gentle and...too careful with their words xD. It bothers me SO...MUCH... (That is why I never take high ranks)

I think girls are more interested in games where you can play as animals for some reason. Guys aren't as interested in animals/roleplay (From what i've experienced) but there are some exceptions.

Naturally. It has been shown that most players are female, and many characters that are first created are the same gender as the pupeteer. It is easier to put yourself in the mind of someone the same gender as you. I have a female and a male character, and I tend to use the male more often

The thing is, I'm a girl in reals, and I have......... I dunno...................... 2-3 male wolves? O_O! I once went on my female wolf, Luna, and this guy named Spike, in Fluorite, he came RIGHT up to me and asked to be my mate. I was all like: "Ummmm............................... Sure..............??" Then he started SEXUALLY RELATING TO THINGS ABOUT US............ O_O" Ikr? *shudders*
