[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 6395574, member: 2067"] As someone who played a female thri-kreen, I think a lot of this hinges on the aesthetic you're going for with the race. Dragonborn are meant to be basically relatable people, not that different from people-in-funny-suits, so their biology is basically human. Not too different from an elf or a dwarf, they're just humans that are a little different than humans. They're Star Trek aliens -- they look funny, but they're basically people. Part of the aesthetic that thri-kreen truck in is that they're alien. They're weird bug people. They don't think like you or me. They have a sort of cold, insectile logic. What you're going for when you go thri-kreen is that you have weird biology. Having a body that is fundamentally nonhuman works with that aesthetic (thinking on it, this is part of why I prefer them to have a thorax, and be a bit centauroid, too -- it's weird). Warforged are interesting on that front, as part of what makes them attractive as a race is exploring their artificiality, about how their body shape was determined by, like, some dude in Sharn they can go meet and ask questions about. They were made sexless because they're just tools, and they don't need a gender any more than your toaster does...but then I am reminded of [I]Battlestar Galactica[/I], and the toasters there deliberately acquiring gender as an element of their plan, and of mimicing their forebearers. Changelings also become interesting there, because their gender is a matter of their own choice. Do I feel male or female today? How do I use gender to accomplish what I want? What happens when I'm pregnant and I become an egg-laying lizard-person? Now I want to play a transgendered warforged who was created with the body of a man but feels herself to truly be a woman and is trying to modify her equipment to be as biologically female as possible, maybe hoping to be a mother someday....which trucks in some really interesting territory. :) [/QUOTE]
