Darkhawk: You are welcome to play either gender in this story. I play them all myself - and some non-gendered. We have someone playing an animal even. I don't think that we can recruit a girl on purpose for the girl's part. But I don't tend to ask for gender of the players myself. I just play out the story.
Anyway - PM coming your way. That's in the top right corner of your screen. We can discuss which you'd rather play and what you'd need to know about either one, once you've made a concrete decision.
