Oh and, of course, I must tell you what I chose:

I always try to create a more or less even range of sexes; I find it intesting viewing the world of Cantr from a female prespective; just as I cannot go without expressing my male side. It is interesting how differently one gets treated by the opposite and same sexes - there can be advantages and disadvantages.

I'm going to watch this with interest - if you see the stats I did for the 'zine - Cantrians are 2/3 male - and I reckon it's due to a lack of male players (who are a majority I'm guessing) who play female characters.

Can we please move on from the 'I couldn't RP a female' - a person or character's sex doesn't have to have anything to do with what they are like - you could play a female character no different from the way you play your male ones - it wouldn't make them any less a 'woman' -

don't let real world gender stereotypes cloud your perception on what a cantrian 'woman' or 'man' should be like...

Personally I now have seven characters, of which four are female
Whoever you vote for.

I have 9 male and 6 female characters.

Some females I have given very "female" traits, some I simply try to imagine what would motivate a female and play them that way, and the other two I don't play with any apparent gender orientation, stereotype, or archetype.

One of my males is probably the wussiest guy you'd ever meet. Scared of everything.

I have 11 characters, 4 of which are female. The two older females are no-nonsense harridan types, I'm sorry to say: One has no interest in love and is very businesslike and brusque, and not afraid to kick ass. The other is happily married but also somewhat brusque, and also not afraid to kick ass. My two younger female characters are very interesting to play...the 2nd youngest especially. She's feisty and complex and one of the most interesting ones to play right now. Not afraid to kick ass but doesn't like actually killing people.

My female chars tend to be more violent than I am, certainly, although they're mixed. My male characters range from very violent at times to violent-when-necessary to reluctant to use violence to pacifists.

I enjoy playing females, especially when they're not just the same as a male character in the same circumstance. I think one is even falling in love, and it's certainly interesting to RP that from a female perspective.

Yay girls.
