Why I Roleplay Female Characters (As a Cisgender Man)

I do not work under the assumption that one person is incapable of seeing things from the perspective of another. Understanding how another sees and experiences things is very possible.

I often play characters who are the opposite of my biological designation, simply because it feels comfortable to me. My masculine and feminine sides are both strong, varyingly so, simply dependant on the current moment or attitude I'm experiencing, one could say. A character comes to me - I don't generally try to play a particularly gender identity - it's just who the person is that reveals themselves to my creativity box.

The wet plap plap plaps of Golduck's feet pittered through the halls that were quickly drawing upon vacancy. Small puddles of water trailed behind the large, duck-like Pokémon as it trekked along in front of its trainer, mostly oblivious to its surroundings in its excitement to get where they were going. Sibyl made sure to avoid stepping in such slippery puddles - a mistake she'd made more than a few times, when Golduck had first starting walking with her from the pools to the auditorium, as per routine.

The game of dodge-puddle would soon come to an end, however, as they arrived at their destination. The trainer followed her eager Pokémon inside, content to let her lead the way considering they were both now equally accustomed to the proceedings. The Golduck scurried forth, disregarding most of anybody that it passed, until reaching a spot at the near-front of the auditorium - their usual area. It slipped into a seat and tucked its tail to its side for comfort - though being roughly 5'7", the Pokémon was accomodated by the seat rather well.

Sibyl took pause for just a moment as she entered, letting her eyes scan the room. A few familiar faces - and a couple new ones - she thought it best to continue along unless stopped. She followed to her usual seat, spotting her sister, Maris, along the way as she did. She offered a silent peace-sign-greeting as she took her spot next to Golduck, who offered a jovial wave to Maris in turn.

In truth, the trainer was more nervous than she let on. It was their last year. They needed.. something.. to go right for them here. She was honestly quite proud of Golduck's performance, but it took more than just one Pokémon to win one's battles. She didn't want to fail her Pokémon, and they didn't want to fail her.

Which was why they would win this year. Whatever it took, they'd do it.

_______________________________________________ // INFO D A T A Full Name - Bairu Harukami Hometown - Tokyo, Japan Quirk Type - Emitter Gender - Male - // PERSONALITY P E R S O N A L I T Y Analytical Harukami is very analytical by nature. He will always try to observe things logically rather than emotionally, even to a fault. Everything has a reason. While being a sensible thinker is a great facet, Haru focuses solely on what logic would lead him to believe - which makes him miss things that could happen for nonsensical reasons or "just because". Bright Haru is, at his core, bright in both intellect and outlook. While being an analytic thinker is nice, it is nothing without the intelligence to back it up. Inventive - Creative; it does truly seem that Haru's quirk was tailor-made for a thinker such as himself. While this side of him is rather persistent, his bright personality is still.. overshadowed by his extreme paranoia. Paranoid Harukami is, well, simply over-paranoid. Nobody and nothing is safe from suspicion as far as he is concerned. He's always on the lookout for a betrayal or unexpected turn of events. Lies, inconsistencies, and the like are always at risk of being shone upon by the searchlight that is Haru's chaotic caution, of sorts.

Physical Description Standing at 183cm (about 6'0") in height, Harukami is relatively tall - standing a good few inches above most of his peers. Aside from his height though, one of the first things that would draw one's eyes about him are the golden-beige canid ears that sit atop his head, as well as the similarly-colored, and rather "floofy", tail that he possesses. These light beige tones, when combined with his mostly-dark-brown head of hair, which he is content to leave semi-unkempt, create a mottled contrast that persists regardless of his attire. Despite his height and actual lean athleticism, he carries himself with an odd caution of sorts. He seems as though he takes careful note to not touch anything he doesn't specifically mean to, and always appears ready to spare a glance over his shoulder. Most of the time, however, he doesn't seem to possess a particular sense of nervousness - he just usually seems.. ready. For.. something. Personal History Harukami's young life was unusual, but not entirely alien to some citizens of Japan. This was due to the simple fact that he was borne to a loving mother who was, unfortunately, partnered with a.. less-than-genial member of the local Yakuza. This led to a less-than-pleasant life, in turn. Sure, they wouldn't go hungry, but Haru's father wasn't as nurturing as he or his mother really needed him to be - he was very much the opposite. Nevertheless, they stayed strong for one another. Violence and manipulation was a way of life for the young lad -- especially since his father seemed keen to involve him in his felonious activities. It is well known, however, that the night is darkest before the dawn. While it may seem heartless to think, it truly was a windfallen stroke of luck that the Yakuzaman was struck down at the hands of a hero around the time Harukami turned thirteen. His father's arrogance had allowed Haru and his mother to escape this life. And while things were financially rough, they would at least have freedom now. The two were barely able to make it by for almost a year and a half, until lady luck seemed to finally smile upon them once again. Harukami's mother met a man who was, predictably, much more amicable than the last. He was kind - more humble than one would expect. To Haru he seemed.. nice. Perhaps too nice. Like an angel. Not to be trusted. However, he stayed. He wasn't like his birth father - he was respectable, and he turned their life around. Haru still had his cautions - just like he had with anyone else, but now, after almost two years, he was at least comfortable around him. Afterall, he made his mom happy and had changed their lives for the better. But their past wasn't just that - it had shaped who Haru and his mother were. Haru would never forget that, or wish it upon anybody. Abusive, horrible people like his birth father were wandering the streets and threatening people every day - and it made him feel sick to his stomach to think that villains could run amok unopposed. Character Arc Haru is a bit of a weird one. In terms of development, he would largely grow through abstract means or development of personality, rather than hard facets of his quirk or anything else. He has no friends, though he does truly want them somewhere inside - he's just too distracted by what most would consider a very negative, overshadowing personality aspect - his paranoia, of course. Something which.. I'm honestly not sure can be fixed, but we will see. This also, in an odd way, extends to his quirk. Eventually growing to become more of a teammate to his quirk itself would be a good development piece for him, since his quirk manifests as a sentient entity that isn't really forced to cooperate with him. This bond is the only way his quirk can really strengthen in any way - as more of the Tome Beast's power is locked behind the strength of their link. Quirk Description Tome Beast is a quirk that manifests in the form of a sentient, canid-like monster that resides within Harukami himself. While there are many caveats to the quirk, the crux of it is that this beast, which Harukami has dubbed Akifusa (Autumn Tuft), is capable of summoning a book in which it can inscribe contingency plans, which alter predicted events in limited fashion. There are several limits to these contingency plans - the foremost being that Akifusa must sacrifice one of its black claws to create one. These black claws - of which there are currently three - regenerate at midnight, at which point all un-triggered contingencies fade, or regenerate individually whenever a contingency is triggered. Notably, creating contingency plans takes several minutes, making it impossible to configure them mid-combat. Aside from being unable to retroactively alter events or their results, these contingencies plans are largely limited to being responsive in nature, and as such require a good deal of foresight and particular planning to be useful. Also, while the triggering event has to be inscribed rather specifically, the effect Akifusa creates in retaliation can draw from a very wide pool of possible effects limited mostly by Harukami's imagination - though there is notable limits to the raw power of the effects that can be produced. While paling in comparison to the Contingency Beast's true power, Harukami does inherit some lesser physical features of the creature residing within him. Aside from some visible canid attributes, Haru possesses slightly increased strength and endurance, and markedly enhanced speed and bodily senses.

Sibyl lazily raked a hand through her now-damp, pearly-blonde hair as the final of the afternoon's bells finished their shrilling. She ran a towel over her head a final time as she approached the bench on which her Golduck sat, patiently waiting. Its feet swung slightly below it as it looked up and gave her its greeting. "Gol!"

She offered a smile as she tossed the towel over her shoulder and grabbed her satchel from the bench, beginning to rummage through it.

"Gol?"

She didn't spare a glance up at her Pokémon as she pulled her sneakers from her bag and sat next to the duck as she began to slip them on.
"Nope. You're not staying - we've still got our team meeting, you know that." She deliberately avoided meeting the eyes of her life-long friend. Despite their normal piercing gaze, her Golduck somehow had a way of using those eyes to make its trainer melt and give it whatever it wanted. But the meetings were important - skipping them would be letting a lot of people down. She finished slipping her sneakers on and stood to stretch, letting out a relieved groan. She then grabbed her satchel and nodded her head for Golduck to follow as she started a stroll towards the auditorium.

She heard Golduck's feet plap against the tiles of the poolside as it slipped off the bench in turn. "Gol.. duck." It mouthed defiantly.

Sibyl froze mid-step. She couldn't help but squeeze her hand into a fist at the comment. She turned, slowly, a look of subdued frustration clear on her face. "Don't.. talk like that." She pressed. She stepped towards her Golduck once again, her hand releasing its tight grip on the air as she gently placed it upon the shoulder of her Pokémon. "We've just been.. unlucky. We can do this, alright? Improvement is always possible. Plus.." She hoisted her satchel, which held her Pokéballs, gesturing at it. "..these guys are still learning."

The Golduck paused, looking over her trainer's face, before slowly lowering its bill in shame. "G-Gol.." Sibyl was quick to nudge her bill back up again. She looked directly into her eyes now. "It's okay.. you can make it up to me by battling hard." She comforted, letting a slight smirk grace her lips. Golduck's eyes were quick to harden once again and it let out an excited "Golduck!" As it started to resume its trainer's stroll, but even faster this time.

The two made their way, excitedly now, to meet up with the rest of the team in Room C-103.

Sibyl

<sub>18 | Female

Character Synopsis</sub>

"Mistralton City born-and-raised" isn't exactly the most exciting accomplishment one could add to their life's resume.
That, however, doesn't stop Sibyl from making her own excitement. In the modestly-populated city of her home town, Sibyl creates her own fun through two methods; battling as skillfully and freely as possible - and being as explorative and active as she can. Her active nature is commonly expressed through several methods; rock-climbing, running, and most of all - swimming. Swimming is one of the activities that brings out Sibyl's most vibrant side, and she would be hard-pressed to pass up an opportunity to tread new waters.

This explorative, excited nature, however, is kept wrapped up - though not tightly - in a more sober visage. Sibyl holds herself to a more self-contained standard. She usually possesses a mature stature - but it is not that hard to break when one knows how. While she tries to retain an at-arms-reach nature, she is not as self-aware as one would think.
