Quote:Well, I know on FFXI at least that a number of guys choose female characters with the basic attitude "If I'm going to be staring at this ass all the time, it should be one I find attractive". I don't know of any female players who have male characters though. I've heard of them, but I haven't met any. (In fact, for a while everyone I knew who was female in RL was playing a mithra (catgirl, basically). Of course, in FFXI the race you choose has an impact on your stats, and since mithra and galka are each only available in one gender, that has an impact on things.)
I note with increasing amusement that more of us wind up gender switching than not.
I wonder if that would be typical of the COH/COV population? Would more men wind up as their female characters than the reverse?
Of course for Alexis, the "Starlight transformation" thing has been part of it long before there was an actual game system to consider.
