Do you make your toons the same gender as yourself?

LiquidSchwartz

Example: I am a man and I play male characters.

I just can't get into playing a female.. But, I know a lot of guys who play girls.

Zerok

Yes, I play my gender.

Same gender usually, except for my female Argonian

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

Nope.

I play both genders.

LiquidSchwartz

Yes, I play my gender.

lol
i have all 8 men i wish i could get into playing a woman but i just cant get immersed

Flaminir

Nope.

Half male & half female..... Originally I was going to have a male/female of each class & one was going to be stam the other magicka.

Weirdly it turned out that I saw both my sorcs as male, and both the DK's as female. No idea why.

LiquidSchwartz

Yes, I play my gender.

Acharnor

i see them opposite from you lol

Ilsabet

Yes, I play my gender.

When I'm playing games where my character is "representing" me in terms of what other people see, I feel most comfortable playing a character of the same gender. It's more of a "what you see is what you get" type of thing.

yeah thats how i feel
its also the reason why all my guys have some sort of facial hair cuz I have facial hair and it makes me feel one with them

Ghanima_Atreides

Nope.

I play a mix of genders; my characters don't represent me, they are each their own person, so it doesn't feel strange to me at all.

phreatophile

Nope.

Both

CherryCake

Yes, I play my gender.

Mostly females, because whenever I try to make a male character they look very girly, or as ugly as they can get.

And it is also the same to me in this case. I somehow seem to base my characters on how I look, but trying to slightly get out of that cycle.

I tried making a khajiit but I find it weird to make human proportions on a cat ;___;

Zaldan

Nope.

but I'm not an elf in RL either

The Uninvited

Yes, I play my gender.

Yes, I actually try to make them look like me. Which oddly enough works best on high elfs, except for those damn pointy ears.

Damn it, you are lucky xDDD I look like a mix of nord and orc. Mostly orc.

ContraTempo

Nope.

I suspect that in most cases the central issue is whether you see your toon as a version of yourself, or as a character in an interactive story. For me it's the latter and since I like stories about female and male characters, I play both.

I also typically play in 3rd person so I see the character taking actions.

you mean you dont like the kitty titties?

DenMoria

Usually. Depends on who I'm playing though. A Nord 2 hander should be male to me. An Altmer Sorcerer should be female to me. And so forth.

Yeah... ;___; xDDDDDDDDDDDDD I know I know it sounds pathetic but they creep me out xDDDDDDDDDDDD

Master_Fluff

Nope.

It's easier to make characters cute if they're female, especially Khajiit. Of my 24 (Yes, 24. Twentyfour) characters, only one is male.

The only reason my main (dunmer dk) didnt look like me is because i nerded out and made him look like a traditional dunmer with dark skin and red eyes
