Male Character vs Female Character - Page 8 - Guild Wars Forums (2024)

Furnace Stoker

Very interesting poll results.

Its a role playing game so naturally I play people who are different to myself.

With tabletop rpgs I played male and female whenever I wanted to, when it came to live action role playing and reenactment I played male characters.
Because I doubt I would look good in drag and didnt intend to find out

Computer rpgs I try to get as far away from myself as possible, so I tend not to play 57 year old overweight bald guys, and seldom feel the need to roleplay a retired lab technician.

My female Necro is my main character pretty much been everywhere done everything.

Then come
Male Mesmer
Female ranger
Male Ritualist
Male Elementalist as my next as most played.
Those four finished factions and have done quite a bit of Prophesies and nightfall.

All the others were pretty much experiments in how much I liked the class.

Krytan Explorer

Female with predominately female characters (their clothes are so nice! XD) and one male character.

I've a female Elementalist, Mesmer, Paragon, Ritualist, Ranger, Dervish, Monk and a male Mesmer.

Ascalonian Squire

I'm female with both male and female characters. My necro is male and I plan on making a male Assassin. I like the armor sets for males in those professions.

Academy Page

I'm a male with female characters. I'm not gonna lie, if I'm staring at a screen for a long time, I'd rather look at a girl...

Wilds Pathfinder

female with female characters, except the one named after my bf and my sin...i'm not suer if his name would be the same if he wasn't a guy sin.

Jungle Guide

interesting poll results indeed...now im curious about the age groups of those that responded.

Its also the first time i've actually seen some relatively realistic figures on the REAL percentage of female gamers.

Male/29.
Personally i do not tend to project myself into my RPG toons,however i do give them personae (even if its not shared with the rest of the community) to make it more involving for myself.

And besides getting to post polls you get oodles of other perks as well and get to know you contributed to a worthy cause. They recently used the money to upgrade the servers. Notice how fast pages load now?

It's well worth the meager $40/yr.

PS... There's already been a poll on this very same subject. http://guildwarsguru.com/forum/showt...php?t=10102680

Lion's Arch Merchant

I'm male, I have based the genders of my chars on their profession, all my casters are female and all classes that rely on a weapon a male. It just looks right, especially in the case of wars, fem wars look too dainty. Tho i wish I made my ranger female cause they can be haut.

Ascalonian Squire

Really as a male, the last thing I want to look at for hours on end is the back end of a male character...mainly female, although made one male necro just because I could.

Wilds Pathfinder

I'm male, have both. Sometimes I pick based on how much the dance amuses me, others, I'll look at the skin. Generally I'll either pick a good looking female skin, or, if I make a male char, I'll pick out the most retarded looking skin. Disco male ele, male ranger with eye-patch and hair covering the other eye, etc.

Forge Runner

I'm female, and discovered that I look a crazy amount like one of the ranger characters, so I started with her. Then when i looked around i also discovered that one of the ele characters was the spitting image to the guy I was dating at the time. Since then I have created a whole lot of female characters, and added some male ones in the professions in which the famale characters were really fugly. (All of Nightfall comes to mind, and the female factions necros.)

Academy Page

I'm male, and I have an even split of genders for my PvE characters. Usually, I chose one gender because I hated the opposite version (/hate male monks).

Warrior: Male. My main, so of course he's male. :P
Monk: Female, for the reason above.
Elementalist: Female. Couldn't seem to make male I liked, so she ended up female.
Necro: Female. Same as elementalist.
Dervish: Female. See elementalist.
Mesmer: Female. Remade a monk as a mesmer, so she stayed female.
Ritualist: Male. The first ritualist I made was a male (think it was forced). Stayed that way since.
Assassin: Male. I like the way the male assassins look.
Paragon: Male. Made up a name out of the blue, and liked it. It was a male name.
Ranger: Male. Saw the way things were going, and made one more male. >>

My PvP characters are just my PvE characters remade, plain and simple, so they have the same genders. My mules are mostly female...but I won't get into why.

Edit: And yeah, I could care less about pixels. "Naked" CG does nothing for me. :P

Wilds Pathfinder

Currently i have:

Male Necromancer
Male Warrior
Male Ranger
Male Monk
Male Mesmer

Female Assasin
Female Rit
Female Paragon
Female Dervish

i'm male myself btw, just chosen wich i liked at that point of the game, i just don't playing with a male dervish :P (man in dress juck) if i'd make a ele it would probaly be a male ele now, those female ele clothes just get way to fake looking for armor... almost feels like dressing up a guy with a tie as his chestplate

Legendary Korean

I did have a male warrior, but the model was horrible, the armour is ugly and all my favourite weapons being the sleeker weapons just looked rediculous on him. I also have a 2nd perma-pre mesmer thats also female. i did have 50/50 at one point, but with the loss of the old warrior and the addition of a perma pre it changed to favour females.
