Crossplay Characters?

[Serric]

Just curious about people who play opposite gender characters. This in No way reflects upon anyone's sexual orientation (as if that mattered) but I am curious to see if I am the only one.

Kaeson in SoS is a guy, as am I, but I have played female characters in the past - including one in Fiesta now.

How about the rest of you?

[Jopei]

never really enjoy being a female character, much prefer to be a boy. i feel like i'm playing as someone i'm not, yet that's what you're doing in a game, you're someone you aren't. i sure am difficult...

[MiseryIndex]

Yup I do it sometimes. Like on Nostale the male look for the characters is extremely pathetic. So I chose a female character and put my first name for my username so everyone knew I was a guy. Also bourght a self introduction saying I was a guy, so when people clicked on me is said that I was a male.
One of the moderators there crossplays even in the forums XD. Which I think is going a bit to far.

I was thinking about making a female character in nostale but I'm going to make mine a male. I think all anime based games create females better then males which is quite sad. My old sig in the forums here was a good example of this.

My main characters are always male (as they’re supposed to be a representation of myself in the virtual world… dunno if that made any sence ^^u), but for secondary characters that I use basically for specific/utility purposes I don’t mind them being female. As someone else said, female sprites tend to be prettier than male ones (maybe I’m biased in that perception xd), so indeed, in these cases I prefer the eye candy.

[Xanthe]

I dont. If guy characters looked any better, I might think about it... but they never do, so.. :]

[MiseryIndex]

Xanthe my point exactly >.< Btw your sig is fantastic :D

Thank you! ^-^

[Rodaa]

i plan on making a female character at some point, but the majority of my characters will remain male

[MiseryIndex]

It's always nice for a change :)

[btaylor]

I've tried playing a female avatar before, it just felt weird.

[IcyGrip]

i've played male characters before, but i prefer sticking to my gender

[Luna_Moore]

Nyeh, I'm always a girl. I tried creating a boy but it didn't feel right so I'm sticking with girl for now since I am a girl. lol. :)

[StPauliGirl]

This is kinda a repeat poll in a less ignorant way!
If the other unmentioned post had brought this subject up so...
Alot of flamage may have been avoided.
I always play fem chars because i love women!
thats all there is to it.

( my tag is my favorite beer ) drink up kidz!

[ryuchi]

male or female.....I don't care.
I pick male so people know what I am online
and I only pick female for fun X3

[Nixxy]

Female, but i did become male on Runescape once just to see what it was like and what people would say (Although my name is I honey I so i got lots of funny comments =p)

[criticalhit]

:panswer: no


your all trains!!

[Ferria]

Yeshu! No biggie XD

[jimmytony1]

I dont, but I know several people who do. I like the macho male characters.

[Rodaa]

lol
not that you can see the machoness 00

[BellaAnimorum]

lol
not that you can see the machoness 00

Harr!! Right??
Dunno about anyone else, but most of the time they look pretty average to me.

[jimmytony1]

I will be the first to admit it... It is purely psycological in this game rofl. In games where players can pick sizes, I go for the more lean not too heavy not too light characters. But... Every time I have played a smaller siezed character, it always ends up rolling worse, dying more often or failing me miserably. Since male characters are more built generally then female, I go that route. Slender is nice to look at, but not nice for me to play.

[pradalady]

I've used male chars before on RO. I just hated the way girl Paladins looked. -_-
So, it just depends on which gender looks better for me.

[Trashknight]

Uhh... Apart from Swiper, all my avatars in-game have been girls on Outspark. ^_^'
(I'm a man between you and me)

[rthomet]

I am male, but I prefer to play female characters because when I have to look at a character for a few hours I'd rather look at a cute female. It dose get a bit awkward when a male character starts getting romantic. I just tell him I'm really a guy and that ends that.

You know, it's really kinda sad that people have become so attached to computers that they develop "feelings" for someone else online... in a depreved kind of stalker-loner-Charles-Manson kind of way...

*shakes head

"Go talk to someone in real life." is what I would say to all of them, but in the end all that would make me is a "cold, heartless, and unfeeling jerk" who, I might add, gets his kicks picking on the feelings of others. (No, that's not really how I am.)

Anyone else feel like this? Am I really just mean-spirited?

It's not being mean, cold, heartless or etc, it's being realistic.

Now, the fact that the masses and people in general prefer to live in complete fantasies rather than face the harsh cold reality is something different altogether. Why else do you think there’re so many religions or -for the that matter- urban tribes with different beliefs?

And of course, we here playing mmorpgs are not really that different in a way.

*Drops a sack on the floor, which click and clanks full of metal objects

Uhhh, yeahhhh <_<

...Was hoping a nubish army was gonna coma after me, needed some FPS practice. lol

*slides sack under a rug with right foot.

[Cr8zgamer]

Ya man its hot!:D:D

[MiseryIndex]

I might make a female char on SoS... I'm still deciding.

[ryuchi]

For fun or your main?

[MiseryIndex]

Thats what I'm working out. I don't "fun" characters.

Might make my girl a fighter and my guy a Mage.

[Palleh]

I;d have to stick to male characters because it just feels weird to be a girl >.>

[Claiomh.Solais]

For fun or your main?

For getting free stuff from gullible male players that get all horny from the butt of a sprite.

Everyone is going to know I'm a guy though rofl.
I already explained this. *hits Claiomh.Solais with the "stupid stick"*

Don't be so naive, this game is bound to be filled with morons, they will believe you’re a female even if you manage to pull a d**k out of your skirt :eek: (the skirt of the sprite that is).

[Sherelyn]

Im a girl and I always play as a female.. yea how boring ^^;;

[Trashknight]

Now you are thinking of "futa"... O.o

Misery is a ******* lol

[Serric]

Heh - in Fiesta I love doing the "dance" our characters can perform. I don't have the heart to tell 'em I'm male... I mean, if they aske'd I'd tell the truth but I think they'll find out eventually anyway.

I have to say, however, I am actually surprised at how close the polls are.. I would have expected a wider margin... this has turned into an interesting experiment after all. :cool:

[jimmytony1]

Misery is a ******* lol

ahahahaha... Thats what they need to incorporate... Unisex characters.

[kurosakura]

Lol.. i play as females, yet i am male
And crossplaying is usually used by cosplayers who cosplay as the opisite gender lol

[izabellizima]

I hadn't considered being male because I don't see healers as male. Men aren't mothering in my eyes. Men like to kick ***, God bless them, and kill, so I see them as warriors, rawr.
I might be unimaginative, but I like gender role stereotypes because it makes breaking those stereotypes fun.

[PhyronX]

Wow, haven't been back in a while.

Anyway, I play both male and female characters, and I'm a boy. For my main, I will usually pick a boy, though it doesn't exactly matter to me what gender I play. Sometimes I'll just like the look of a model more than another and pick that, whether it's a boy or girl. Also, some MMORPGs lock the gender of a class so you have to be a certain gender to play the class you like.

For my SoS characters, I have a female mage named Rava and a male rouge named Vane. This was inspired by a story I'm writing right now, and I'm keeping it that way.

Well, I'll be around. See you all later.

P.S. See? Hmm...read your posts later?

P.P.S Whatever...XD

Weird, I would have swear that in average, there're more male doctors than females.

[izabellizima]

Doctors don't treat people, they treat diseases. There are more female nurses than male nurses because of this. I'm not saying men can't heal, I just think if someone's gonna be nice to you about your boo boo it's gonna be mom and not dad.

Misery is a ******* lol

What does that make you then clown?

[DragonMan949]

Misery is a ******* lol

0_0 no one wants to go there ryuchi, and misery, id rather be a clown than a ******* XD

[MiseryIndex]

Shemales are like extinct. Lulz.

Besides my picture is in the Picture Thread.

[DragonMan949]

lol im gonna go see it then

[MiseryIndex]

Go for it. It's proberly like 5 pages from the back.

[DragonMan949]

ok lol, thx for the tip.

Ok back to the topic...

[MiseryIndex]

Only I'm allowed to say that.

[DragonMan949]

Offtopic again XD (btw what r u gonna do about it?)

[MiseryIndex]

Look down on you. For eternity. Btw you fail because you had to edit your post.

[Claiomh.Solais]

Anyway, so the conclusion is, a lot of people around here don’t give a damn about using a differently sexed sprite. Still not the majority, which is not strange considering this game is also full of 13 year old catholic boys (just general term to describe immature boys who follow the masses actually) who think using a female sprite if you’re male makes you the ghey! and you should burn in hell... right.

[MiseryIndex]

I don't think anyone should care. And only people who have never had a girlfriend should care.

[Claiomh.Solais]

I don't think anyone should care. And only people who have never had a girlfriend should care.

Which around here will be common with all the basement dwellers and 13 year old boys.

But yeah, it's still the kind of thing nobody should give a sh*t about.

[MiseryIndex]

Exactly. Let people do what they want these days. Everyone is so judgemental.

[bub777]

Not here, but I dabbled with it on TO once. I was tempted to make one here on Fiesta, then I saw a thread someone made showing their absolute HATRED of cross-gender character players; haven't made one since.

[BellaAnimorum]

Love. Hate. Two sides of the same coin.
That a$$ probably gets off to trannie pr0n.

You gotta love the details they put into sprites these days xd, reminds me of the girl you had to rescue on Resident Evil 4.

[BellaAnimorum]

What about Emma from MGS2?

[Atmor]

I am male, and I play both male and female characters, it just depnds on my class and whether the male or female sprites look better. I play my female characters more though since I like those classes ;P

[Claiomh.Solais]

I've never played that, so, pics or it never happened :p

I may...in the future. It's sort of funny, the first thing that came to mind when I saw the pic above of your char, was the cover art for nePhY's Dreamcast Blue Stinger Image Song (most expensive songtrack i've ever purchased), except the hair color is different.

You're right, I can't just let 1 person's opinion get in my way. It's MY choice, dangit.

That's not my char, I don't play such a crappy game -.-

[bub777]

Oh, sorry. Btw, which game are you referring to as "crappy"? I can't play SoS until it's Open, so that's all I can play.

[SPDgonzales]

for me, its ok to crossplay. as long as you still know your true gender and tell others your real gender or they might start flirting with you! (male char flirting with female char when the player is acually a male):)
