You know...for the ladies "You know Emcc loves the ladies" this all boys clubs thing is getting kinda stale I have no idea what a female nova or dwarf would look like And i am sure it might send a few people into therapy But we gotta have equal representation Then finally the kheldians can get the love they deserve from the devs |
That would be such a mean way for the developers to action on the whole "We'll be looking at kheldians" remark from the dev chat.

For all you know novas could be waving their ovipositors right in your face.

Exactly the same, except with lipstick and long eyelashes. That's how you always tell if the monster is female!

Honestly, I kinda see the point for Dwarves. They use the Huge model skeleton thingamajig and animations, which are explicitly male in every other situation and the Huge soundbites, which are explicitly male in every other situation. There's a point to be made that they're aliens with their own unique alien physiology without any sexual dimorphism. I mean, I can't tell a female cructacean from a male, either, but I can recognise the Huge model, and I recognise the Huge model as male, so it gets pretty difficult to see dwarf-form as anything but male, either.
But Novas? Unlike Dwarves, there's no resemblance to humans at all. They resemble neither men or women. The only problem here would be a sociocultural one, where we're basically conditioned to assume that something is male until it's proven to be explicitly female because "male" is considered the default state. It's why in cartoons and such anthropomorphised animals and objects can have a pretty wide range of presentations if they're male, but female ones always have to hit several key notes like pronounced lips, eyelashes, or have accessories like ribbons to make it absolutely clear we're dealing with a woman and not a man.
I guess that bit is kinda off-topic, but I just wanna say I don't really wanna see the idea of male as default and female as derivative of male encouraged by assuming a flying space squid is obviously male simply because it's not obviously female, whatever "obvious" would be for a flying space squid.
The males have the Squid and Lobster Form and the girls have the Crab and Shrimp Form?

Have we confirmation in lore that the Kheldians have two genders? They are alien, after all, and energy creatures. Just because they take human hosts doesn't mean the alien part is limited to the host gender too.
All I can say is I'm glad I got the facepalm emote...

This thread is not what I expected it to be.
You had expectations? Silly, silly boy...

This thread is exactly what i thought it would turn into
I was going to make the " maybe they already are female" comment but i decided to leave that up to others
I am quite certain that the nova is female
When my wife walks in and I am in Nova form she always says
"still playing the flying uterus game?"
Yes those do look like fallopian tube up on top there

I don't believe so, they could well be asexual, hermaphroditic or have some other gender dynamic that doesn't fit into "male" and "female". On top of that, the Dwarf & Nova forms are based on two *additional* species who will have their own genders and even then we'd have to presuppose that the different genders were physically distinct.

Ice/Ice Blaster. Dedication to concept is an ugly thing.
Claws/WP Brute. Sex without the angst.
Every CoX character lies somewhere on this spectrum.

None whatsoever. Any gender pronouns used tend to just be whatever that kheldian's host is at the time.

I'd figure "female" Kheldian forms would look very Slaaneshy, which scares me quite a bit..
"Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these. It might have been."
Yeah, I need dwarf tits.
[geez, I hope they don't keylog me at work.]

IIRC, it has been explicitly stated either in game or in a Q&A that Kheldians are genderless. I know this thread is pretty old, but I'm bored and combing through the boards. So sue me.

@Rorn ---- Blue Baron ---- Guardian
hehe I remember a Farside cartoon showing two bathrooms for jellyfish, with a picture of a male jellyfish on one and a female on the other. The two images were exactly the same.
The cartoon caption: "Only They know the Difference"
While we are at it we need female kheldian forms
You know...for the ladies
"You know Emcc loves the ladies"
this all boys clubs thing is getting kinda stale
I have no idea what a female nova or dwarf would look like
And i am sure it might send a few people into therapy
But we gotta have equal representation
Then finally the kheldians can get the love they deserve from the devs
