Wycked Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Atton didn't really knew which sex Revan was. This was made for the game to ask you about how you pictured Revan. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can only imagine. "How long have you spent in that force cage? Revan was a woman." "Well, maybe I just hoped he was a man." That doesnt go too well, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witchzenka Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Besides, the saving Bastila from the darkside/joining her on the darkside thing works better if Revan is male... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I disagree. Works wonderfully as a female trying to save someone considered a sister. -Zenka The Evil Cow http://kotorsocial.suddenlaunch3.com/index.cgi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witchzenka Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 DS Luke, yes, I really believe that, having tried and failed to save a sister in real life. (turns out she is a sociopath and there's nothing anyone can do. LOL Sister is a sociopath, not Bastila.) -Zenka The Evil Cow http://kotorsocial.suddenlaunch3.com/index.cgi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eisu Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I'm more inclined to go with DS Luke and Hive because the whole Bastila turned to the dark side gives you a bigger reason to go to the Star Forge to save her for love and all that stuff and gives you more of a sappy StarWars reason to turn her back to the light side with your love and all that... the sister thing works, yeah, but it's stronger storytelling-wise as a lover, but it's not as strong as a sister cos they're not really sisters... Now, shall we just start a new thread involving this and not hijack Aimo's sketch thread? I mean, it's not very nice to do that, now, is it?

witchzenka Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 You have a point, Eisu. (a couple really.) Perhaps that scene was so powerful to me because of my personal experiences? But back on topic: Aimo, I adore your stuff.

Works wonderfully as a female trying to save someone considered a sister. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It wouldn't have been like that if they were both female. They would have hated each other always being nice to each others face and then talking about what hores they were behind there backs, eventually ending in a sexy catfight People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

witchzenka Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I've been thinking a bit more about this too - and while Bastila is not your sister, you do have that Force Bond, making her pretty much... your sister.

The Great Phantom Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 OFFICIALLY, Revan is a guy... I think Exile could be female, but I'll play them as Male, caus that's what I am, and I'm not used to romancing guys...

But you already saw me quoting it in that other thread. I take it that you don't believe me? Well go http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swkotor_sithlords/index.html, select Game Info, then select Chronicles, and look at the last 2-3 entires - the ones mentioning Revan.

Ohma Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I think that in that case all the gender-specific pronouns can be discounted. After all, the english language has a most unfortunate lack of non-gender-specific ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to me that whole rescue bit works just as well no matter what gender Revan has... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The thing about that to me, is that with Revan's mind destroyed Bastilla would essentially be Revan's "firstlove" making the bond even more powerful. I guess that view could only really be shared if you had a good experience of your first love, but to me you can't underestimate how strong those type of feeling are.

witchzenka Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Ok, they mention "he" a couple of times, but they go out of their way to avoid mentioning a sex at any point where they absolutely do not have to (even creating some awkward wording) - lending some credence to "he" being used as a convenience, like referring to God as "He" when in the original languages, a gender is not specified. -Zenka The Evil Cow http://kotorsocial.suddenlaunch3.com/index.cgi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole text can easily be re-written to not include any gender specific words at all. It wouldn't take all that much effort. After all, that's what they do on the KotOR I site. It can be done if you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eisu Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hey, dammit, stop hijacking this thread, go start another one, do you want me to call the Devs? This is a thread for Aimo's SKETCHES, S-K-E-T-C-H-E-S! You want it locked cos you guys can't decide if a GAME CHARACTER's male or female? Start another thread, dammit. Not that the devs can be "called", but you know... Aimo: Really sorry about this, but I just realised something, the Mira and Exile sketch, is that using markers? Like, real media markers?

As for Revan being a guy he or she is what you want him or her to be. That's why your given an option, regarding that cannon crap who cares tis fairly useless information any how. Start another topic if you desire to talk about Reven's gender as fascinateing as that may be for some. Secondly this is a topic about art I'm not sure I'm seeing the relevence from an artistic stand point as to your gender debate unless of course your requesting a male version of Revan? Oh and by the way Kiera is not insane it's a matter of prespective. Lastly lets get back on topic. Lady Alenuska P.s. Aimo I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your art.
