KotOR Revan

Don't know how many people know this, but there has been this argument between Knights of the Old Republic fans over whether the main character is canonically male or female. Here is my own thought on the matter as drawn by Cluedog http://cluedog.deviantart.com/

LOL. That's awesome. Great concept and well done.

[why am i doing this]

according to canon revan is male and the exile is female. great work by the way.

Fortunately, I have no clue who this is.... Therefore I can appreciate without knowing canon or not!

I love it. I always play a female Revan. Mainly because the romance options for a female seem more satisfying than for a male. Hm...

[Kheben]

Yeah, "why am i doing this" has it right... Revan is canonically male and the Exile is female.

Still, the art is terrific (as it always is with Cluedog) and the idea behind it is pretty humorous.

Lol well since Revan wears Armour originaly he or shes gender is unknown i guess well to the game but i think Revan is a guy.

In the Mandolorian wars Revan was a Jedi knight and with his apprentice Malak. Sometime in the war they went into a mysterious cave and came out completely warped twisted and evil.

But since you can choose what character you want to be in the game talking Gender wise since Revan wears amour that covers his or hers face it gives that possibility of a more wide range of character customization well i choose to be a girl in this case XD.

But thats a great pick hehe

Revan according to Leeland "God of the Star Wars Continuity" Chee is Light Side and Male at the end of the game. The Exile is Female, believed to be Light Side.

Personally, I disagree with this.

I prefer Dark Side Female Revan and Light Side Male Exile for story ... it works better for me.

Okay, for the record, I KNOW what canon says, but as my drawn representation states in the sequence drawn by cluedog, I do not care!

[Raijin]

Canon looses any hold when they allowed you to choose in the game so bwhaha =o

i know when i played i had light side female Revan and light side male Exile.

however, this is how i always pictured it canonically:

revan end game - light side male.
exile - neutral female. i dont think either dark side or light side make sense for the exile; as one who disobeyed the council once and who relearned the Force from Kreya, i dont think the exile would be strongly pulled to either side; (s)he strikes me as an independant, nonaligned character. as to the choice of female, thats because the game all but sets up Atton as a love interest, the same way it does with revan and bathilda in the first one.

eh, i read that the guy at bioware who made revan initially wanted him/her to be a girl, but the guy that decides that stuff at lucas arts had orther things in mind.
