[QUOTE="SkidAce, post: 4610266, member: 7706"] Interesting thoughts. My first DM asked me to create a female warrior as my first character. He said "A warrior is simple to play, and a female character will make it so you THINK about the personalitiy of your character, not just play yourself.." Sounded reasonable to me. And so 23 years ago another role player was created. And re: the poster above...ROLE playing is not just putting yourself in the role...as if you were there in the fantasy world...it can also be assuming a role different from your normal self. I.E. I am not a sneaky rogue "end justifies the means" person....but I play a pretty good one. Another concept I am fond of is the country girl with a spear...chosen by her diety to spread the word. (a paladin without heavy armor or noble upbringing) Boy were those snooty paladins in the city suprised when she showed up with the "true power"..hehe. So my characters (table top and MMO) tend to be about 75% male and 25% female...merely for the concept of the character I come up with, thats the ratio I tend to see. and I am a adult male by the way...
