1. What gender of character do you play more of, male or female? Why?
Male, most definitely. I played a girl once. and once I played an androgynous person. But Mostly I play males...I guess I just don't have the capacity to play female characters? no thats not it. Its just that I don't LIKE most female characters. I think they're silly and annoying.
2. Is this different or the same as your own gender?
Same?
3. Do you find that your gender makes it easier or more challenging to play your characters?
oh dear. I dunno. I dunno if my gender has relevance or not...I think playing a female character is more about the lack of relateability or something than difficulty.
4. What sexuality / gender identity do your characters have?
they're all boys, though their sexualities are different. also, sexualities go far past the sex of the partners, so Im gonna try to hit on that too...My current pups particularly....Dr horrible/billy is straight. and really awkward, but straight. Roy is also striaght but considering his current state he's not really looking for any sort of sexual relationship. Darwin is even more asexual..hes legit asexual. or monkeysexual, but thats gross...Lockwood is straight, and he's kinda in the realm of playboy without being a playboy. He's currently in a happy monogamous relationship. Dowie is straight-ish. I could see him fool around with a guy but for the most part he's just plain into women. Not necessarily monogamously...Jim Mack Is gay. Predominantly Doyler-sexual, though. Val is the gayest of the gay. And Blake, he's new....but I think. considering his canon, he's, shall we say, "bisexual". I hate the term bisexual, because that insinuates a binary gendered system which is entirely artificial, but there you go. I think thats all...I hope that
5. How does your character's sexuality and gender identity define / affect their personality?
Most of them arent really defined at all by their sexual identity. Val certainly is, mostly because his sexual identity was bullied out of him (or that was the attempt, didn't work) and caused his entire life to be turned upside down. He expresses himself through his sexuality. the rest of them, its pretty irrelevant to their person. Well, Jim its relevant to, just considering what he'd have to go through were he back home.
6. Do you tend to predominantly play characters of a certain sexuality? If so, why?
No. Characters come with their own sets of identities...
7. To what extent to you write / play your character's sexual or romantic life?
Depends on character. Some of them identify so much with their romantic or sexual life, or that their personality grows and changes because of it, I sort of have to let it play out in game to really see what it is that is changing within them.
8. How has the character's romantic life affected his character development?
Some of them it hasn't. Lockwood it has grounded him quite a bit, let him be a bit more himself. For Val its entirely changing his life, flipping it upside down. he's not sure he's alright with that but he's letting it happen.
9. Do you set 'ships' or plan for your characters to be together with other characters, or do you allow their relationships to develop organically? Why?
I try not to plan anything out too much. I let the characters tell me how it will be. usually that changes based on how things play out.
10. Do you change the gender identities / preferred sexualities of canon characters? Why / why not?
I try my damndest not to.I am a canon snob. I don't like to think I change any part of a character in an unnatural way. occasionally characters stray a bit from canon but I dont like to think that they change, necessarily. Just blossom? But for the most part no. not at all.
