Player and character gender

Just goes to show that one can't categorize people into two groups :hehe:


There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who lump people into two kinds, those who don't, and those who only do so sometimes. <_<

(You dig. :P )

I don't view characters as extensions of myself, I view them as just that, Characters.

It's an opportunity to explore personalities and mindsets other than my own, so naturally I want to get into everyone's head. Male and Female characters. It's like writing a book, you don't go "I'm only going to write extensions of myself."

Then again, I mainly roleplay. And no, I don't get creepy and "over-sixualized" with characters, having people wear armor that barely would be considered metal swim-wear. I find that immature and lacking in depth, personally. You don't get to "know" a character that way, you're just distracted by them. I'd like to think I can dive fairly deeply into the male and female characters I make. Men and women, aren't that different from a mental standpoint. Most of those differences are social constructs. There've been ruthless female warrior-queens and compassionate emotional male poets.
