Of all my recurring characters in RP, I only have one female.  She started out as a side-character - a sorta fantasy 'girl with guns' trope - confident, sexy, invincible.  Then I ended up giving her a backstories and putting her in different RP universes and she became more fleshed out.  But she's still a sexy stereotype fantasy girl, no matter how much depth I give her lol.

I'm probably the problem here. Well not me, but guys like me.  We might play into the stigma that the only reason to play a female is to be a little horndog lol.

Just offering a different perspective.  Everyone else seems a lot more mature than I am.  [b][u]And I completely agree, that players should be able to play whatever they want, whoever they want, for whatever reason they want.[/u][/b] This is the important note.  And RPGuild players definitely promote and practise this freedom.

As far as playing females in 3rd person action games.  I do it like 50% of the time.  I've come to realise that if one is gonna spend 100 hours plus staring at the backside of a created character, then why not make that character a female lol.  Plus, as others have mentioned, all the cool armour and aesthetic options are always for the girls.

Hell, I spent some time trying to find a cool male picture for an anime-style knights RP I'm about to do... ALL THE BEST PICTURES WERE FEMALES.  All the cool outfits, the cool poses, the sheer variety to badassness... all for the ladies.

Sp, for the shallow shitheads in the world of RP, that just like cool, shiny, fantasy shit; I get it man, I really do - Females are the way to go.
