What Percentage of opposite sex characters do you play?

Postby gejyspa » Fri Jun 11, 2010 2:03 pm

Just curious as to how many characters (percentagewise) of those you play are of the opposite sex from you, and comparing the finding between male and female players.

Also, if you want to leave any comments as to your motivations for choosing to play the amount of gender-bending characters that you do, feel free.

Totally unscientific survey.
Thanks,

For those of you who suck at percentage (like me) :

The percentage of chars of a gender = number of your chars of the gender / number of total chars you have * 100

After a few recent deaths actually two thirds of my chars are female, but since that's not really representative for my preferences I checked 40-60%. I usually try to keep it balanced.

I know, but I've been playing a balanced amount of chars for months now and I likely will do so again when I start a new char. I think it's more helpful if I check what I want to play and not what I actually do play due to circumstances.

But I doubt you have very many characters overall, do you?

Currently I have 6/13 male - 46%. If dead characters are taken into account, I have 13/30 male - 43%, or 14 / 47% if you count one transsexual. As for why, I don't think genders hold much of a meaning for me. Some of my female characters are kind of butch while many of my male characters are sort of effeminate, although I do have or have had cute and/or friendly girls, they just tend to turn bitter or toughen up when life kicks them around.

4 female characters out of 12 total. I basically started "gender-bending" to just try different roleplay experiences.

I usually have about 50/50 but right now have more females than males. Since I'm not planning on spawning anymore in the near future, I picked 20-40% but I'm usually in the 40-60% range.

Guilty, too. :lol: Only 2 girls out of the 10 chars I play. My females always seem to end up as ice queen butchy types or insanely bubbly (and those usually die quickly because I cannot sustain that sort of personality). I have more fun playing male chars for some reason regardless of their personality type.
