I know, slightly random question. In games with both male and female characters, or games where you make the character and pick a gender for them, which do you choose?
For some reason, I started picking female characters more than half the time nowadays. When I was a kid, I picked characters who looked strong, then as I grew older, characters that look like monsters, then characters that look cool, and now I pick female characters. In a way, kinda random.
edit: and, crap, forgot the e for female.

If I get to create a character, it's always female. If it's in a fighting game or something similar where the characters already exist, it just depends on who I'm good with.

Usually male, because I find too few female characters I really like. Alex Roivas from Eternal Darkness, Ivy from Soul Calibur, Jun from Tekken and Kitana from Mortal Kombat, and of course the lovely lady in my sig from SD vs. Raw 2010 being the exceptions. I love those characters.

It varies on the game, but majority of the time, I go with a female character.

Mostly male except in the case of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance where the only mage class available is the female sorceress.

female, because polygon breasts are still breasts.

Mostly male.
However, to this very day, I will STILL pick Jill over Chris in the first Resident Evil game because Chris having two fewer inventory blocks than Jill is just too much of a hurdle for me.

Depends on the characters' abilities. But if I were free to create one of my own it'd be male.

For games with create options, it depends on my mood, or at least the personality I imagine them having.

I'm a guy and I emphasize and understand guys better...so when it comes to create-a-character I always create a guy. In other games I almost always go for a guy character, unless said character has a really really stupid background/personality/voice, or the girl character(s) have a much much better ability.

Male, especially the more darker ones since they are a lot cooler.

Picked a female character in Saints Row 2. No regrets either and she's pretty badass.

I pick male except for two instances - Blaze from Streets of Rage 2, since her techniques fit my playing style better than the other guys; and Cammy in Street Fighter 2/4/HD/Turbo Remix -- since Cammy is just hot. That, and I know how to perform all of her moves fluidly, which I cannot do with anyone else save Ryu.
