Walsingham Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 When violent I play females. Kipling being correct and all that. My favourite of all time being Silence, the shortsword magekiller and later Lady of Murder. When non-violent I tend to play males. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Dyan Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Females can be just as violent as males, and visa versa.

DGwar Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 i am just saying that men are more prone to violent behavior and rash thinking. whereas females are more emotional and less likely to kill everone. and as to why i would have a violent male character and no violent female character is because i put females on a pedestal.

Most of my fantasy pnp characters are female drow, if DM allows it. I have one who is neutral but her homicidal tendencies come out when she is greatly angered. It in her drow blood after all. Another drow character is chaotic evil, she is quite the insane one. Too much exposure to nasty magic warped her mind. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

metadigital Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 As long as you don't rollplay Chaotic Evil as Chaotic Stupid, suicidally running headlong into every combat opportunity to commit homicide as broadly and deeply as possible.

It must the all of those soft feminine emotions we have that turn into their polar opposite. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It does, but I've yet to encounter it to that extreme. I've seen several males that are capable of matching females in terms of wrath* (to my knowledge). It's going to vary of course, from individual from individual and different factors, of course. And I don't believe for a second that those "soft feminine emotions" turn females into polar opposites. I think its a conscious choice. They get pissy/pissed when someone or something sets them off. Various triggers and all that. Of course, being male, I'm bias. My point is, if driven far enough I don't think gender matters all that much. They may have different ways of displaying it, but I think that wrath is pretty much the same if said person is truly of that mindset/mentality. I'm not saying for a moment that a woman can't be ruthless; she can be. I'm just saying that I think males have the potential to match it if they truly wish it. *(or are just as cold-blooded when they choose might be a better way of phrasing it) HK47: Commentary: It is not possible to destroy the master.

metadigital Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Except that, as a general rule, males have an "easy out" by simply overpowering their opponents (possibly with surprise). As this teactic doesn't require a lot of planning, it does not encourage the sort of long-term grudge-holding revenge-is-a-dish-best-served-cold thinking that behooves the "fairer sex" to indulge in ...

Gabrielle Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Indeed women are well known for their thinking and acting out nasty revenge on an unsuspecting male. Ask my ex. We can be cool and calm and look at you with a neutral expression and deep down we are thinking of ways of seperating you from one painful limb dismemberment to the next.
