I'd like to join, but I'm still deciding on what character to make. I like Scheherazade and think she'd make a nice town librarian/historian, but I wouldn't want to cause problems by making the gender ratio even more imbalanced. I also have an idea for Percival, but that's less fleshed out. Of course, I could just try someone more obscure if neither of these two work out. Any thoughts?

I honestly don't care about gender ratio [i]like at all[/i]. As long as it's not 20 to 2 it's fine. My personal opinion is, if there's a gender ratio, it's usually there to even up the potential romances, so that no one's left out. Well, that doesn't exactly work when you have 5 homosexual guys, 4 homosexual ladies, 2 asexuals, a heterosexual, 7 bisexuals, 3 pansexuals, and 3 aromantics. And then there's the matter of characters that are genderfluid, genderqueer, trigender, transgender, etc. that'll 'mess up' a gender ratio. So, I don't bother really keeping track of them because I don't find there to be a point. One of my characters I don't intend to even give a romance, so *shrug*.

You play what you're most comfortable with. Go ahead and come up with a lady Scheherazade if you want or Percival, or both!
