[Fun] Why do you use a male character?

[mbncd]

My main is female, as am I, but I've never really been able to identify with her.

I have a couple of male alts who told me their stories from the moment I had their names and I have a lot of fun thinking about them and exploring their history, getting to know what they did before I played them, what they like and dislike, how they came to be the way they are. That RP nature has just started to rub off on a female character associated with their back stories but they're still by far my favourites.

*Shrug* I dunno why my main doesn't have a backstory or personality of her own, or why several other alts don't have anything either, but Bysta and Rysta (and now Rymel by association) really speak to me somehow. I love 'em <3

I have the same problem. My main in beta was a male miqo'te who instantly had a story, but my current main who's a female roe just doesn't have any story or personality. Sure, I sometimes doodle them doing silly stuff, but she still remains pretty blank.

I have made my male alt be the warrior and fisher while my roe has the other jobs. Go figure. @.@ I just like having both, I guess. Just wish it wasn't so much work having alts. Otherwise I'd revive my beta cat and elezen... aaaand I have another seawolf that I also adore. /sadface
