Are your Oc's your Gender?

Hi! I have both genders as well as an androgenous character that has not yet seen action. I am willing to RP with anyone.
 
I've done pretty much different genders since always, and beyond. Because sometimes I play OCs from cultures that are vastly different from our own, so gender isn't even the same if it even exists.
 
My OCS vary with who I'm rping with. I can rp as either female or male and I love it. The male gives me the push that I need to try better in rping. female is my gender that I normally go to. But all in all, I go by who my rp partner would rather be.
 
90% of my characters tend to be females. I just feel like I'm more accurate(?) when I write the same gender compared to doing males. I'd also rather stick to doing females almost all the time in an RP ofc there's exceptions and I have played males but I kinda doubt my skills.
 
Most of mine are either female, Non-binary, or transgender MTF. I'm working on getting more make OCS in.
 
I do both female and male, however, I tend to enjoy writing male characters over female. Which is crazy, because I'm female. The whole 'write what you know' thing doesn't apply. But I do write both.
 
Almost never. I am non-binary but almost always play female characters. Irl I present rather androgynous (more masc in the summer and more femme in the winter).

I love this response because I'm the "opposite" and it's fun to see people who are happy doing it in a completely different way haha. I'm also nb but almost always play male or male presenting characters. Irl i also present kinda androgynous but I tend to fem up in summer and masc up in winter xD

Even before I came out (AMAB btw), I still played female characters though.
 
I have 25 females and 26 males... (51 in total) i did not know i had more male ocs then i did females till this post! this is quite interesting.... but me being agender, I don't really mind playing as males or females or other genders at that.

also, if you would like to see any of my Oc's I have a link to my Oc tracker,

All my Characters are my gender, Female, I've always been too afraid that I would wrongly portray a another (well I have done a non-binary) and I'm wondering what other people think about it. Have you ever been afraid to be a different gender? do you dabble in all? Or do you prefer to only do the opposite/no gender at all? I'm excited to see what others think, share your thoughts!

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I tend to make a character based on the need of the story I put them in. I mean yeah, there has been some initial hesitation to portray a different gender/race/ethnicity but that's where doing research came in for me.
 
I have written as both male and female. I feel I need to. It wouldn't be much fun if all the characters in your story were all one gender or another, especially when you're writing on your own outside of RPing. I have stumbled sometimes, wondering if I'm portraying the opposite sex correctly. When that happens I try to see them more as personalities than gender. That usually works for me.
 
I don't mind playing males in roleplays for other people, my overall preference for myself is always playing a female/women overall as it feels more comfortable. However, I'll play whatever gender so male for another person's side.
 
My protagonists are all male (I'm female), but minor characters and NPCs always vary in gender, age, etc., and I'm happy to write against characters of all genders.

Gender expression is something I consider an important part of characterization, so I wouldn't say I simply disregard gender when creating a character. I just find that male protagonists give me the degree of creative distance I prefer when I'm spending a lot of time inside a character's head. It's a preference rather than a limitation, though - I have no problem writing characters of other genders when they're the right fit for a plot.
 
I have played both male and female adults, sometimes both (as married couples). It depends largely on what the others in the situation need out of the interaction.
