Game Discussion / Re: Male vs. Female Characters
« on: January 16, 2012, 09:43:07 pm »
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*
