You know how in games, people put "G" for girl (or F for Female) and "B" for boy (Or M for Male)?
Those are probably the most popular genders people give to their characters.
Well, this thread is slightly different.
Are there any characters you've seen or create that WASN'T male or female, but another gender that wasn't as well known?
My newest character, Finni (reference to Finnian's nickname: Finny which can be spelt as Finni too), is Agendered.

Not many.
I've seen a few Agenders/Genderless, and mixes
Though honestly I don't see enough for list.

Like WarKat said before me, I don't see too many characters that are agender / genderless. Even if they are, I never truly see it in tag form. It seems there are quite a lot of genders to choose from, most of which are not even heard of. I feel as though one of the reasons as to why someone's character is a male or female is because those are the most common genders and simple to understand. Genders such as androgynous, trans, cis, gender fluid, etc. can be a bit confusing at first to those who don't necessarily understand those terms. It would take a bit of research to apply those traits to your or someone else's character in order to gain a somewhat accurate and natural interaction ICly.
As for creations, I do have one character that is androgynous.
-
I never have seen any characters that are in the non-binary gender spectrum. This is probably because gender is a social construct made by humans, and animals pretty much only care about the sex of the individual (male, female, intersex probably). Plus, not everyone knows about non-binary genders. This doesn't mean you can make a genderqueer dog, a character creator has the freedom to do anything with their character as long as it doesn't become a "Mary Sue".
The only non-binary gender I have seen on a character in-game was genderless, and that's often used for mythical-related characters.
-
I have never seen anyone that has no gender before on Feral Heart, tbh I might make one after reading this.
It'll be something new.
-
I haven't seen too many genderless characters myself, to be honest. I've seen a few robot characters that were considered genderless, since they are machines and not biological living things. Would robot characters count I guess?
-
Robotic characters technically would count, yes.
Robotic creatures don't have genders but will be called a certain gender by fans, creator, etc.
(Foxy = Genderless but is called male)
-
Seems like I'm not the only one who noticed this then.
They seem to be getting more popular as of recent times.
-
I usually have tags ticked off but come to think about it... I probably have.
And I have nothing against it whatsoever, I think it's awesome that people are/have been comfortable enough and confident to be themselves here.
Even if it is just their 'character' that they are getting into - I support it.
-
yep, defo not agender for sure!! i think all genders besides male/female aren't that popular? i'd say thats from a lack of knowledge and younger players, tbh.
most of my characters are agender, though. i can just relate better to them. ^^l
-
I've seen a few here and there and it really makes me happy seeing these types of characters! I have a few characters who aren't cis gendered like for example my Sona BlackBerry technically doesn't have a gender seeing as he is a shadow (Kreptis). But I use he/him pronouns for BlackBerry. My Character Lilium who is one of my oldest characters is just a character made out of creepy mist who doesn't have a gender so I usually call Lilium's pronouns either just It/It's instead of Them/They/They're. I also have a few other characters who are demi-boys and either uses the pronouns They/Them/They're or He/Him.
-
Not very many. Only in the depths of South Pole. (Trigender fox. I honestly had no clue of what that even was.) I'd imagine they stick there as that's where quite a few unrealistic roleplays are. It would be kind of odd to see someone trying to join a realistic roleplay (Like many found elsewhere.) with a genderless character.
-
As long as I have been around on this game I have never seen a character that was an odd gender type.
-
Hmm. I don't remember if I've seen any agendered characters, but if artificially intelligent computer viruses count as agendered even if they have a pronoun preference, then I've actually been one. :>
Trust me, you will only understand that if you've seen me hanging around in Bonfire. Other than that, probably not.
This post also reminds me of a fairly weird idea for three different genders that I had...
and the next thing i know is that i'm going to have made a character with a gender like that oops
-
In my three years of having FeralHeart, the only character I remember seeing that wasn't cisgender (male or female) was genderfluid, but mainly used male pronouns. (He, him, his, and sometimes they/them.)
Like you have a Finni character on FH, I have a Grell character, who is transgender. I suppose that could count as what you're talking about.
But other than all of that, I've never seen any agenders, bigenders, other transgenders, etc. etc.
-
I have seen a few genderless characters! They're kind of interesting to me, to be honest! They're something different from the typical run-of-the-mill character a lot of times. :D So glad that people are beginning to create characters that demonstrate all sexualities, genders, etc. It makes it more diverse, & broadens everyone's experience!

-flies into this post-
i have many, many genderqueer characters as when i make one of them i generally, as i agree with mewtwo's post previous to mine, relate to them more. being genderfluid between female & agender, gender equality is something that i'm not ashamed of, so i generally make more characters that are genderqueer. ovo"
edited this post like 9 times bc it sucks jdhskf
-
I don't think I have before. I suppose that sounds strange too me, but if people like it that's fine.
-
Other than my own, Bone Empress, I can't remember. None Empress has no gender, she just goes by female pronouns.
-
In my experiences I tend to see a higher percentage of characters with "unusual genders" within in-game roleplays and groups than I do the usual crowd who use the "name gender species" naming style. I might be a little biased as the only rp/group I am in is one of these, but I think non-realistic animal/creature roleplays especially tend to have more of these characters, possibly because complicated biology (especially in cases of having multiple reproductive systems or having no reproductive system) could make assigning a curtain sex or gender more difficult.
I do tend to use these "unpopular genders/sexualities" on my characters (I'm aromantic myself so I mainly rp as aromantic characters). It's really just a question of personal comfort for me.
-
Yes, I've noticed it before. Actually, one of my friends likes to create 'agender' characters. I think it gives her characters a bit of uniqueness and it adds more to RP about. Personally, I wouldn't use any other genders than male or female. I usually change my characters orientation than gender.

Like everyone else has said yes I have seen people that don't put genders in their tags or bios but hey thats cool I don't do it all the time either
-
I once saw a Stallionmare (Stallmare)
-
I saw one person with no gender, or it said gender not known.
