Topaz Quasar Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Does it really matter if Revan was male or female? The story was basically the same either way. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dear god he's back.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerslave Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Luca$art$ started that idiotic trend of using the same name for both Male and Female characters in both KotOR (Revan) and Jedi Academy (Jaden). I just hope there won't be any more examples of that, as it is completely lame and stupid. And, Revan definitely sounds Male to me. I just can't picture a woman being the Dark Lord of the Sith and a brilliant strategist, leading first the Republic and then the Sith into battle :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I don't think it is so much implied that Revan was a male. I'm sure Bioware was anal about making sure any masculine identifiers would never appear (no he's or him's...only "Revan"). I think any "implication" of Revan being male or female is based entirely on our sociological preconceptions of what type of person would appropriately fit the role that Revan had. If there was a band of uber-powerful Amazon women out there that somehow got a copy of the game that played it, they'd probably assume Revan was a female as males just wouldn't do that sort of stuff.

maia Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 To me, Revan being female makes more sense, as it explains the whole mask and secrecy thing much better. After all, she had to deal with Mandalorians who appear pretty patriarchal. The name is fine as a female name, too - there are a lot of similar sounding RL female names. Re: physical strength - the power of the Force is a big equalizer. Re: films precedents, I can't care less, as the only central female characters in them are silly royals whose main role is to be love interests. I have to admit that I did think that Revan was male the first time around... but only due the glitch in Canderous's dialogue. When the revelation came, it made a lot of sense to me and I immediately thought that there had to be a mistake in Canderous's dialogue, as has by now been aknowledged.

Product of the Cosmos Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 im voting male simply because thats how i think of revan now from countless play throughs as a male character <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I did the opposite. Always played through as a female. Either way though I think male or female(or asexual) fits Revan just fine.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Revan Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Either one, really. I've played as a female, and I've watched my brothers play through as males, and both genders have an equally believable and enjoyable plot line. Women can be mass murderers, same as men. I see it on America's Most Wanted all the time. Men are more prone to this, though. Or so it would seem. Perhaps women are just more discreet. Revan could be male or female in my book, as I see both genders as equally capable of Revan's past violence and subsequent redemption or slip back into the dark side.

Lady Revan Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 A true Sith respects power, Male or Female, no? Until, of course, they become more powerful than their master, at which point they kill said Master. If Revan was more powerful than Malak, he would assume the role of apprentice, bide his time, then take her out. (I'm assuming a female Revan here to answer the question, don't start having fits.) Not to mention that the Council did say that Malakk took the role of Apprentice grudgingly. The Council also said they were close friends. I know I wouldn't mind serving under my friend if they were more apt in the Force than myself, regardless of gender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitemithrandir Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Everyone knows Revan is OBVIOUSLY male. If Reven were female, she'd be in the kitchen instead of on the helm of a battlecruiser. But all seriousness aside, what's the big deal differentiating between a female Revan and a male Revan? I'd gladly take a female Revan anytime just to lessen the impact of Bastila's role. I hate that whiny she-dog. Word economics To express my vast wisdom I speak in haiku's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Revan Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Revan in the kitchen.... I don't mind which gender Revan is, as I said. I think either one is believable in its own right. As for Bastila, yeah. I found her annoying myself, but I'm not about to get into that here. This place seems to be male-dominated, and the men tend to like Bastila. And I value my peace, so I'm not saying anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chemix Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Either, the story was designed so there could be a male or female revan. Though the male version would work better for a screenplay IE the bastila romance, things get alot thicker in plot and drama. Either makes perfect sense within the confines of the game however. I don't see any point to polls like these... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan the Terrible Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I'm sure Bioware was anal about making sure any masculine identifiers would never appear (no he's or him's...only "Revan"). Actually, another reason I was so certain Revan was male was because Canderous openly calls Revan 'he.' They edited the text to remove all masculine identifiers, but the voice-over still quite clearly refers to Revan as 'he' several times in a row.

When I first saw her, I thought she was a human who was suffering from the extreme effects of the Dark Side (pale skin, distorted features, etc.) My first thought was 'God DAMN the Dark Side makes you ugly!'

Is that even legal in the Star Wars Galaxy? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd wondered about that myself. I've never seen a cross-species relationship in the movies, and in the 50 odd EU books I've read I've never encountered it really either. I don't know if it's illegal, or if people just refrain from it. Biologically speaking, the DNA composition would be too different for any such pairing to produce viable offspring anyway, so...*shrugs* Perhaps that's why most don't. Maybe it's some form of taboo.

Chemix Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I think such relationships are probaly legal within the star wars universe. Though I don't think Juhani would appreciate a guy back. But lets not get into that argument again. hmmmmm, what would a twilek human crossbreed look like if thats even possible anyways I stand by my previous opinion, within the game, either is fine and fitting to the storyline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Commander13 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Okay, so Juhani may be off limits to male characters... She has to have a sister, right? A twin sister perhaps? Meowwwwwwww... I see possiblities here... Someone, fetch me the catnip! On another note: As far as my not-very-Star Warsy brain can think of, all master-padawan pairings have been the same gender. Juhani/Quatra is the only grouping of girls I can think of... Any male/female master/apprentice groups? Curious about the subraces in Pillars of Eternity?
