If you made a female character

My daughter made this toon when she tried Eve Online. She played with it for about a year then tired of it. She had always been trying to get me to play this game so it still had some time on its subscription and I tried it and liked it.

I did, then, make a male toon which I still play. I consider him my 'main'...however I play this toon more often because she is a awesome isk-making machine. My other toon stayed away from these isk-making activites because I didn't want to double up. Therefore, it is Nuela 80% of the time.

If I could do over, Nuela would be male. However, no biggie.

I prefer looking at women. It's cool nowadays for men though if you like looking at a man while you play.

This question pops up from time to time.Why do people ask this question. Why wouldn't a male make a female character? What about it is a mystery? Why would you even wonder?

Again?

Quote:
It depends I suppose. I identify with Kytayn. In game, he is me. I have female alts that I do not identify with. They are characters I manage or direct.

I think there are a number of levels people create and use avatars for:

Identity - the character is a representation of you
Masquerade - the character is a representation of who you want people to think you are
Propriety - They are not me but they are mine. This can range from viewing the character as a pet, a child, a favored pupil, to something more unseemly like ownership of a slave or minion.
Convenience - Don't care about the character just didn't want to look at dude/dudette all day


My female characters tend to be a combination of the last two.

Be careful in Pulsar systems, you might get Pod Flu.

I have made plenty of them.

I haven't regretted a single one.

My only regret, is that CCP only allows you to make perfect women, and not ones that you see in RL (that often).

CCP, give us more Character Creator options!

Yuck

Like the "real wimmin" I see at work?

Fat, gross, dumpy, wearing poorly matched clothing, unkempt unwashed hair, standing in the alley with a smoke hanging from their yap.

Walk past them and smell stale cofffee and cigarettes...When I see them with wedding rings I ask myself:

"Guys yuck yuck yuck"...

Everyone is always repeating the mantra "Don't Trust Anyone" ad nauseum... If I can't trust the guys I play with, why bother playing with them at all? Fly Solo...

I do it because it adds to the selling price when you have a hot chick compared to...say...Andski, for instance.

I have never regretted making one.

Ever read any of Ian Bank's Culture novels? In this futuristic society known as "The Culture", gender is meaningless. People don't refer to their sexuality, they simply love whoever they are inclined to love and be whatever they are inclined to be. In this setting people live many multiple hundreds of years. The average lifespan is about three hundred, and most people change genders at least once or twice.

I don't see any reason why it should be considered odd in real life, never-mind in a computer game where the choice ultimately only dictates the body shape of a virtual Avatar (An Avatar which, by the way, is basically pointless without any Avatar gameplay content).
