I'm all for a more female approach to the characters. I'm male, but I think female (and I suppose male) players should be able to have their characters distinguished as female or male. I remember a thread like this happening already, where it was mentioned that male characters should have increased muscle mass while females a bit shorter and curvier. Nonetheless. This has my vote.
Ummm... I don't know how to say this without sounding perverted...

@Pookycakes
- What you're saying is, because we want our characters to look a bit more girly, we have no morals and contribute to a sex-driven society?
I'm asking why do you want to "look a bit more girly?" Because when people do things like this...
- (i don't fancy this thou, but i know most girls want dem sexiness)
...your sarcastic assumption would actually be true.

+1 for "Breast of Almire," just for the name!
Eh, whatevs. Now that it's pointed out to me, I like how Three Rings allowed ambiguity. As long as choosing a gender flag is not mandatory, I can't complain. I am aware that many people think sex is terribly important to significant intellectual interaction with some one. I've been raised to know it by a name; "sexism."
Am I the only one thinking it's weird how the sex terms "male" and "female" are all over this thread but not the gender terms "man" and "woman," given that such deliberate differentiation for an online avatar is probably more a matter of the latter than the former? Any one? Spooky? The small, admittedly significantly non-random, slice of humanity I am exposed to gives me a frightful impression that "woman" is becoming a "bad word" of some sort. Very frightful.

I'm not quite follow what you're saying
I don't it's the words that matter here, as male and man are pretty much interchangeable. Sex refers to one's physical "goods" so to speak, while gender is the mental aspect of a person's sexuality.
Complicated sexual studies aside, some folks just want their character to appear a bit more feminine than others. The word "woman" is a bad word, when I use the word woman, I use it in context to a human. Spiral Knights are definitely not human, so I just say female.

I "accidentally" verbs for comic effect.
What I meant by the relevant part of my last post is, I find gender more easily applicable to a sexless avatar than sex is, since they express our personalities (or probably rather personae) but not our means of replication and/or stirring the gene pool. That was beside what I _meant_ to ask about, though. I've just been getting a worrisome impression, not limited to this thread, and thought to see if I'm alone since it seemed natural to bring the topic up. What I meant by "bad word," and I apologise for being obtuse there, is that I've heard peops of both genders awkwardly stop sentences as if to search for a word, before saying "female" after saying "man" in the same conversation without such highly conspicuous behaviour.
I thought it ambiguous whether our characters are highly stylised humans or uncannily human-like nonhumans. In the latter case, they're presumably not Terran life either, so it strikes me as inappropriate to assume they have sexes at all, let alone that there are two "normal" ones (ignoring small minorities like humans' occasional Intersex conditions) that happen to be easy to map to ours by analogy.
I guess their humanoid characteristics could be explained by them being anthroids or any other flavour of "replicant," which could be sexless but with gender being common if they're patterned mentally after us.

I don't think I've run into those people.
Who have a problem with saying the word woman. I see where your point on gender comes into personification of the Knights. However, OP suggest a way to just make females stand out more with a more obvious feature added to armors, along with being more, well, womanly. I also like the Breast of Almire, catchy name. :)

Yes, +1 for options.
I am glad to hear that, and hope others report the same. I live in a place known for (deliberately unspecified) cultural trends associated with backwardness there, so I'll just chalk it up to that. I should probably have mentioned that, as well as that two peops I've noticed doing it are in my family, and I've been actually paying attention for years since noticing it, which makes me much more likely to notice and remember it.
I failed to see it in Kozma's armor until this thread pointed it out, and I'm firmly in the "would be a nice option but not really important" camp. As long as it's not something I'd be embarrassed about if showing the game to a prospective new player, I welcome whatever cosmetic stuff floats people's boats. So as to not discriminate against clowns and queer minorities, "male" and "female" accessories should be compatible. :D

Dear Alphappy,I want my
Dear Alphappy,
I want my character to be more girly for the same reason that I dress girly instead of ambiguously IRL. I am going to assume that you also do not dress completely ambiguously IRL, and you have a reason besides wanting to appeal to the opposite sex for doing so. Whatever that reason is, how would you feel if I said to you, "My dear Alphappy, everyone in this world looks the same now. You can't have your muscles and ***** anymore, but if you want to look more manly, here, you may carry around a toolbox and wear work boots all day."? :(

Yes! +1!
Heh. One factorial is one... HONK! HONK!
Also, since you asked for upshuttery over there:
"Make new similiar thread, we hate them.
Nercomancing a existing, dead thread, we still hate them too."
If we were expected to have "signature" bars, I would fill mine with this quote.
I like how the "gender-ambiuous" option is the default, with no particularly sex- or gender-charged characteristics. With mixable and mismatchable options, we can also have charged and ambiguous "clown" options available. Now that I've thought about that, it makes me like bulky armor like Skelly for a sort of meta-ambiguity. Yay!

See post number
I'm not too sure on this. There are armors that sneakily incorporate it, but blatantly putting it into the game would definitely look perverted to most.

Ok this is funny but a great idea
There are some really funny comments especially from pookycakes, but getting back to the idea in the first place, yea i think its pretty good. I am myself a guy, but think this would be useful for females well, to look female. Also i think this might put a smile on some male GM's faces when they look at it. So keep rocking these great ideas Zorenjunsuinahato, coz they are rly good.

I think the idea of something girls can wear to actually point out they're girls is a good idea, so...
Yes, I also think this should be done. It doesn't have to be tasteless, just something to help differentiate between the boys and the girls. Adding other accessories that allow this kind of thing would be nice too.
